The freedpeople will pay Miss Tuckers board and to have a school the Bureau will have to pay the other expenses rent for school house and teachers salary. I can secure a suitable building for a school for $20 per month The Teacher is here ready to enter uppon her duties I earnestly request that the Bureau do furnish nesessary means to establish a school hoping to hear from you soon

I remain
