Superintendent of Freedmen

Dear Sir — Wishing to engage in the Education of Freedmen I write you. At the close of this term I shall close my connection with this institution to engage I hope the Education of Freedmen. I have a young lady teacher who has taught for me who would like also to engage in the same noble work. We are prepared to say to you that if you will furnish us transportation to Arkansas we will go and devote our services to the cause trusting to Providence and our own exertions for a livelihood. We think we can make a livelihood without the aid of a benevolent society. Give us full particulars at your earliest convenience

Very truly
S. F. Witter
Principal
