Hon. Henry Wilson.

Sir.

I wish to obtain a situation as teacher in Washington or the Dist, and venture to apply to you for aid.

Can I obtain an appointment as teacher of Freedmen there?

I have taught two years here and two in Raleigh N.C.  I can refer you to Gen Whittlesey, and Rev. F. A. Fiske.  Am well educated and [[underlined]] smart. [[/underlined]]

Yours Respectfully
