Washington. July 29" 1867.

I have often visited Mr Green at the earnest solicitation of parties have helped him against the remonstronce of accident at Visiting Agents.
Rev M.V. Wright & wife, Mrs Harris, & Dr Wheeler, have visited Mr Green at my request. Their united reports are to the effect that few if any families they visit, have the comforts this family seem to have - Green's wife is a White woman - called the Dr a D__d fool &c.
I have no personal feeling in the matter, & will not object to helping them if so ordered, but my judgement is that 19-20 of the freedmen are equally needy.
