Mr Colby,
Sup't of Freedman Schools

Dear Sir - 

I write you to ascertain if I can get a good position as teacher of Freedmen when my School here will end which will be a little before the first of September. I am teacher of a large public School here. I was "licensed to preach the Gospel to punishing Sinners" by the Wacousta (Clinton Co) Bap Church Michigan and hence as would also like opportunity to preach to the Freedmen as opportunity presented. I have taught a great deal and would like as good position as you could give me My heart is in the work of the education of Freedmen and I would like a good position in some of the villages
