7 Office Sub Asst. Com'r Bu. R. F. & A. L. State of Texas Sterling. May 11th, 1867. John Scott Esq., Galveston, Texas. Sir: Your communication of the 18th ultimo was duly received. Mr. Sloan's papers will be duly attended to. I have seen him twice since receiving them but not under circumstances favorable to complete the papers. We have several schools in process of organizing. I have heretofore been prevented from attending to these matters as I would like for want of transportation. I have now bought me a horse & can now go when I like. Have the kindness to send me blank vouchers for teachers pay. Very respectfully Your Obt. Servt. J.L. Randall Sub. Asst. Com'r.
