Gen. 

I have the honor to submit the following report in regard to Schools in my Division.

Having failed in my endeavors to obtain proper teachers from abroad, I have by subscription from the citizens here obtained sufficient funds to pay a Freedman to teach at this place; he is but an indifferent teacher but can impart some education to them; he now has thirty five scholars and new ones are coming every day: This school is located at Salem and is the only one in my Division

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
Hiram L. Hunt
