I am a southern man sir, Do not be deceived in me. But I want to see justice meeted out, I am a friend to the Negros, I am also Mrs S's friend, She has others here, and those that should have befriended her, have failed to do so. I have never known a lady treated with so much ingratitude.
 
You know the many comforts, Associates & friends that she has denied herself of to instruct the Colloured race, and then to be treated thus, it is heaping insult uppon injury.

I have on several occasions conversed with the leading negroes in regard to this matter & tryed to bring about a reconciliation, but I have failed. Some of them say that they want to brake up her school & send north & obtain just such a teacher as they want.

I have written to Capt, H. A. Miller in regard to this matter, and suggested that he visit thus places & investigate the whole matter.

Mrs S. is Very much dissatisfied & Mortified and if you can render her any Assistance, she will feel under many obligations to you,

I do not wish this letter made public as I am a practising physian, and I do not wish to incur the dispeasure of any race or Collour.

I refer you to evry person in Town as to who I am.

Respectfully Yours,
M. C. Boyse.
