to build a school house this Winter at Surry the Co Seat

The freedmen in this Division are giving general Satisfaction by their steady application in their duties.

Some few whites have told the freedman if they did not vote with them and vote against a new Constitution they would turn them off or would not employ them any more.

I am Sir
Verry Respectfully
Your Obt Sert
