Gentlemen,

I see that the N.Y. Br. of the Freedmen's Union Com. are [[underlined]] sustaining [[/underlined]]! twelve teachers in the District of Columbia. 

Have we been derelict in not doing the same, or did we understand  you aright, that "there was no need of a Northern Soc. sustaining teachers in the District.

Please reply & oblige
Yours &c
