Dear Bro

I want to ask a favor and if in your power I hope you will grant it.  I want for my own use a copy of the different semi annual & other reports of the Bureau upon schools.

I don't know Mr Alvord well enough to ask him, but suppose you can help me to them as well.

I am hard at work in the cause of the Tract Soc more particularly in the Southern work.  I see your name occasionally & am glad to see you well spoken of.  Shall hope to be in Wash. this spring & there hope to see you.

As of old
Yours Truly,
