[[preprinted]] New England Branch Freedmen's Union Commission. Recently New England Freedmen's Aid Society. No. 8 STUDIO BUILDING, Boston, ^[[Oct. 28,]] 186^[[8.]] [[/preprinted]] Mr. Kimball Dear Sir, We have received yours of Oct. 23d & regret to say that the low state of our funds prevents us from sending more teachers to Md. or elsewhere. We have only a few names of colored applicants which I enclose, with their addresses. Perhaps you would like to write & receive testimonials from them. They have applied here, & we were prepossessed in their favor but unable to send them for want of means. Very truly yours E. D. Cheney Sec. Com. Teachers by C.L.F.
