ing in that capacity ^[[of course that is sufficient]] Perhaps you think I ought to be content to labor as a missionary without sufficient or paying compensation I would say I have already spent $1000 and 5 years time the avails of my first earnings and gave it to build up a school where colored and white could attend without distinction which was all I was worth at that time 

Professor Whipple knows something of this I now feel it my duty to get what my labor justly demands

With respect yours truly
