East Pembroke NY
Aug 13th 1868.

To William M. Colby State Superintendent of Freedmen Schools Arkansas

Dear Sir
Permit me to recommend to you my friend & Br S. F. Witter as teacher for the Freedmen. I was formerly his pastor & his family were members of my church, & no worthier, or more respected people lived in town than they. It is therefore with the greatest pleasure & the deepest interest that I recommend Mr Witter to engage in the noble work of teaching the Freedmen.
