Rev Joseph Welch.

Sir.
I write this to notify you that as we have been very much in want here of a good teacher and as one Mr. Wingo has been recommended by  Mr. Roach the teacher at Harrisburg to us, we thought it best to employ him at 50 its per pupil the Month. and to give you notice of the same.
Is there no fund for the education of the poor freedmen who cannot pay even this monthly tuition? 
Accept my Kindest Regards 
and believe me as ever yours &c.
