Spotsylvania County Va.
April 18, 1867

Sir, 
I hereby make application for a position as school teacher in one of the Freedmen's schools.
I moved with my parents from Newport, R.I., little more than a year ago, and taught a day school for the black children of the neighborhood, last summer, but find that it is hard work for them to raise the small sum which I charged - 10 cts per week.
I graduated from the High School at Newport on the 26th of May, 1866, and received a diploma at that time.
