Rev. Joseph Welch

Dear Sir:
I wrote you some time since but received no answer. I inquired about the [[Howard?]] proposition to build a Shool house. Since then Breckenridge has attempted to make political capital out of the matter. The Colored people have held a meeting appointed me as a committee to look into it. As a member of Said Committee and as the Public School Committee of the city. I desire to know if there is any money to be had for School purposes and on what terms. Please answer this as soon as you can as I am annoyed with questions &c.

Yours &c
Newcomb

The city will furnish lots &c.
