R.M. Manly Esq.

Dear Sir
Yours of the 21st inst is before me. Had I been home, I should have replied sooner to your inquiries  I feel an interest in the affairs of the 2d Colored Bap. Church of which you write as also do our Board. With us it is a question of ability. I do not know to what extent we shall be able to aid in the good work of their house of worship. We will do all we can
