Norfolk, Va. June 29, 1865 Col. O. Brown, AssistantCommissioner Dear Sir Your letter J 27, Inst. is received. In answer to your question, I reply, that I intend to withdraw from the A.A. Association, if I can obtain employment, among the Freedmen with salary sufficient to support me. I find that ten, or even fifteen dollars a month with my expenses is inadequate to my support, if I lay by anything for the future. If I do not obtain employment, I shall be obliged to remain with the A.A.A. until some way opens for me. Trusting that if able you will be willing to employ me. I Remain Yours Very Respectfully Hope R. Daggett
