There are forty five (45) women and forty six (46) children belonging to soldier's families willing to go to Texas to join their husbands and fathers.
More will probably wish to go when these start.

General,
In reply to your communication of the 24th inst. I have the honor to report that about 250 Two hundred & fifty Teachers have been employed in this state the last year. The schools are nearly all closed, or about to be closed. I think that from fifteen hundred to two thousand Teachers can be profitably employed during the next term.
I am General
Yours &c.
