No. 823 South St
Phila. Feb. 16, 1870. 

Gen. O. O. Howard

Dear Sir:
The school that you gave me at Forktown, Maryland, sometime since was declined by me on account of an attack of sickness, which caused me to return home immediately; but now as I have thoroughly recruited my health, I would like very much if there be a vacancy to teach again; you will favor me by sending an immediate answer --, if possible.

Yours respectfully,
