If we conclude to send there will be three girls wanted, am not so particular about the age but want those who passes intelligence efficient to learn ordinary work, and who have the perfect use of all their limbs. People are very much afraid to send for colored people for fear of getting someone that cannot work and so lose all the trouble. If I send please do as well as you can by us, I would like to know the cost of transportation& then we can send the money. I suppose they will be put in charge of someone as they could not know the way of themselves. In coming from Washington one gets a through ticket to Syracuse and then can stop at Preble, Please answer soon as I am anxious to know the results

Yours &c
