[[underlined]] John Amos [[/underlined]], a colored man, living at Parkersburg, West Va. says that he worked at Martinsburg W. Va. in the Q. M. Department two month and a half, commencing Oct. 6th 1864 at $35. per month, and that he has never received any pay for his work.  [[underlined]] Capt Shaw [[/underlined]] of Parkersburg, succeeded in getting pay for some other men who worked in the same way, and he [[underlined]] Capt. S. [[/underlined]] informs me that information about this case can be obtained of Capt. [[underlined]] W. E. Morford [[/underlined]] A.Q.M. Vol. Staff under whom this man worked, and who lives somewhere in New Jersey. His address can be obtained from the Army and Navy Register for 1864-5.  Mr. [[underlined]] Amos [[/underlined]] says he can prove his work, and that he did not get his pay, by the evidence of several colored men at Parkersburg.  He can be addressed at that place, care of Rev. [[underlined]] S.E. Colburn. [[/underlined]]

I am directed by Genl. [[underlined]] C. H. Howard [[/underlined]] to report this case to you

Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Sir:
We called on [[underlined]] Johnson [[/underlined]] and I have since written him that we cannot aid him in that school, and that we have no other place for him at present.  He has not succeeded in gathering much of a school, and there is a little friction between him and some of the colored people.  Still, if I had the place for a white teacher I would send him, but we need colored.

Very Respectfully Yours.
