Remarks. I wish to know if there is anything donated towards aiding the colored schools. I saw in the Index where a large sum had been given for that purpose. Will I get pay for the times I have already taught? I have taken the school room on my own responsibility. Harry Stephens is no longer bound for $25.00 per month. I have heard that there was a school taught by one Mr. Rhodes in the country if it so necessary I will make enquireis and report to you at once my school will increase rapidly if you can aid the patrons in paying the tuition. I will make my reports punctually there after.
