Dear
Sir
:
I
wish
to
ascertain
whether
a
colored
school
has been
opened
at
McMinnvile
.
We
expended
$300
on the
school
house
and
desire
that they should have a
school
.
Dr
.
Rust
agent
of the
Freemen’s
Aid
Society
of the
M.E
.
Church
North
was to
consider
the
question
of
supplying
a
teacher
. If he has not
done
so
I
will
try
in
some
other
quarter
hoping
that the
people
at
McMinnville
will
do
all
in their
power
toward
the
school
. Will
you
please
answer
my
inquiry
or if
unable
to
do
so
refer
this
letter
to
someone
at
McMinnville
who
will
answer
it
at
once
.
Your
very
respectfully
D
