Payson's Script
Boston Oct 19 1867

Dear Sir
We are very much grateful to have your order for the copy books & for'd free as you desire except they have "for Vermont Schools" on cover which is of course a little too far north but will scarcely be noticed — advise us immediately if you will take a lot provided we paint "for Virginia Schools" or "Freedmen Schools" Say what? & we will fix it at once  also suggest any other changes? Would you like to have an Agent visit any Section of Va with the books?

Truly Yours
Crosby & Ainsworth

P.S. Advise about how many Covers to paint? if you wish any special ones painted?
