Rev Edwin F. Hatfield
Secy of the Presbyterian Committee of Home Missions
No 30 Vesey St. New York

Sir
Will you please inform this office at your earliest convenience of the names and location of the colored teachers of colored schools employed by your association in the state of Tennessee. 

The amount set apart by the commissions for educational purposes in this state having been limited, this information is desired in order to determine how much of the limited amount can be devoted to the repairs and construction of school buildings, after providing for the rental accounts of the several benevolent societies operating in Tenn.
Can you furnish a few teachers for new locations

Very Respectfully
Your obedient servant
C E Compton
Bvt Lt Col US Army
Supt of Education Tenn
