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
