this morning from Gen'l Sewall we learn that restrictions are imposed which will prevent our sharing this assistance from the Bureau. If you can get it, and there is need for us to act, and we shall not be required to raise more than $100. each, [[strikethrough]] and [[/strikethrough]] we can supply a few good colored [[underlined]] female [[/underlined]] teachers. If suitable places for such present, be kind enough to inform me at once where they are, and we will ask for transportation for them, and please also set on foot measures to provide homes for them when they reach their several places of destination.

Respectfully
