Falling Green 2d month 18th 1868

My dear friend
Thee may rely implicitly on all that friend Wadsworth says, he is one of our most wealthy intelligent & worthy citizens a steadfast & unwavering Union Man a firm friend of the Collared race &c. His opinion as to the necessity for a school at "that" point is much better than mine, but I should think it an excellent neighbourhood to start a school as there are a great many Colored people around him

Why has thee not been up to look after thy flock?

I hope to get down the last of this ^[[insert]] week [[/insert]] I will call to see thee. I think the Mt Zion school is progressing quite well not as many Comforts & Conveniences as should be, but hope time will improve such deficiencies  How is friend Charles? Please make my kind regards to him

Thy friend [[signature]] Charles H Brooke [[/signature]]
