Farmington Dec. 14, 1866
Dear Brother Adams
If you will address my brother Bvt. Brig. Gen. Chas H. Howard at Washington - he will give you the requisite information about "colored help". He has charge of the whole matter & is to send a colony North. Partly to Lewiston. about Jan. 6 1867.
You can tell him I directed you to write to him & name the route by which the girls could come from Boston and to whose care they are to be consigned.
We are sorry to have Miss Gilwace away this term. Give my love to her when you see her. Glad to hear such good accounts of your baby and Parsonage. You beat us on the latter but we won't yield the palm as to the former. My Lucy is near in Father Rogers parlor & my wife can't join us as she would like to. In a mesage of love to you & yours
Yours as Ever
R. B. Howard
