[[Preprinted]]Delaware Association For The Moral Improvement and Education of the Colored People. ^[Wavy Line Separator]Wilmington, [[/Preprinted]]10th/mo 28[[Preprinted]]186[[/Preprinted]]8 Dear General Charles Howard. Thy last came direct. I had previously written all the Colored People to send copies of their deeds if they wanted Schoolhouses & delayed replying hoping for some of them to send the documents. I have visited Slaughter Neck in Sussex Co. & Frederica in lower part of Kent they are both good points & want houses & are preparing deeds according to the request of the Bureau. Newport has deed not Executed (Mount Pleasant) of Summit Bridge in N Castle has just sent word their deed was at the recorder's office which I got & enclose. I recommend houses 16x24 at Newport and Slaughter Neck, Frederica & Summit Bridge. Concord has not replied to mine asking for deed. Most Truly in haste, Samuel Woolman
