Republic Ohio

William M. Colby Aug 28th 1868

Dear Sir- Herewith I send you the recommendation of Rev Bro Forbes. He sent it to me to be forwarded to you. A Clergyman preaches in this place once in a while with whom I am but little acquainted and hence I wrote to Rev Forbes an old acquaintance Miss Bergstresser will send hers as soon as she hears from the Clergyman she wrote to. If by any accident she should not hear from him she will be properly vouched for by an Evangelical clergyman before she starts. We have received from Washington our transportation papers transporting from Republic to Louisville Ark We wish you to inform us the best place to locate. We can not get away before the 1st of Oct and
