Several of the colored citizens of this place have requested me to apply for this - as they all regard me as their friend to whom they [[reveal?]] all their sorrows.-

Should you not grant my request, I shall not feel mortified nor disappointed as many doubtless have applied, who are more worthy than I am, to receive any favors at your disposal.
