Dear Sir:

Copies of reports will answer.  Mr. [[underlined]] Alvord [[/underlined]] says reports [[strikethrough]] will [[/strikethrough]] must be in before account is paid.  I do not find your account here anywhere.  Who did you send it to?  Transportation for Miss [[underlined]] Jenness [[/underlined]] will be sent to-day.  I shall write her to report to  you at your office, as you did not say anything about a boarding place prepared.  I expect she will be ready for the for the Normal school by the middle of next week.

How about trip tomorrow?

Dear Sir:

Taking your judgement as to the need of these places above others we will aid to the amount $300. at Newport, New Castle Co. and Slaughter Neck, Sussex Co., if you build houses according to our plan, and have them done by middle of next month, and send us copy of deed as approved by Mr. [[underlined]] Harrington, [[/underlined]] for record in this office.  You can have the money when the houses are done.

We shall not be able to do much more in building houses.

Washington, Nov. 14th 1868.

[[underlined]] Collins [[/underlined]] Miss [[underlined]] Ellen [[/underlined]]
New York City.

Miss:

I want some good teachers:  men are much the best for these country places, but I can use some first rate women, who will not mind a short walk.  I can arrange to get the money from the Bureau for all employed by me, so that your expense will not be over $100.00.  The Pa. Branch F. U. Commission cannot furnish all we want, and they cannot find persons to furnish.  Wish we could know of some good colored men.  Send me names, and I will get transportation, and arrange for homes.

Very Respectfully, Yours,
