W.M. Colby-

Dear Sir,

I forgot to say to you in my late letter to you that if any Church letter of recommendation from the Baptist Church of this place will not be of sufficient commendation I would on the receipt of your letter give you names of Baptist minesters to whom you could write for further testimonials. If you desire it I will send you the letter inquestion and have also some well known minester who is acquainted with me write to you.

I would like to hear from you immediately as the teacher whose name I gave you and myself would like to know as soon as possible if we can engage in the education of freedmen

Please give me the information I desired in my late letter to you

Very truly
S.F.  Witter
