Sub Asst Com'r 2d Dist
Major:
I am instructed by the Asst Com'r to inquire of you whether Frances Williams and Frances Newton are teachers of Freedmen at Petersburg, and if so how long they have been engaged and under what association.
Orders for the transportation of these persons to Boston, as teachers, have been recd, accompanied by instructions which make these inquiries necessary. I do not find their names in your list of teachers. An immediate reply is important.
Very Respy
