Houston Texas Jan 14, 1870
Rev Joseph Welch

Dear Sir

Yours of the 8th inst containing vouchers is received and would have been returned signed sooner, had not some of the signers been absent from home.

The rent of our house is raised this month like the floods of Houston. 

You proposed to make out the order for $24.00 per month in currency you recollect. We would be glad to have you do so. It will be necessary to make out this voucher in the name of Mr. F. Mohl hereafter since he and not Mr. Bealey is now agent for this house.

Yrs for the Freedmen
Warren Norton.
