I understand charges have been brought against him - by whom none of we the colored people know as being a "Reble" &c, all of which I know to be false.

Now My dear Sir. in conclusion I & the whole community of colored people ask it as a favor of you, that you will use your influence to have Mr Johnson returned to us as our teacher, For which you will have the prayers of the whole community.

Hoping to hear from you soon
I am,
Very respectfully,
Yr. obt. Servt.
