Rev. R. M. Manley,
Sup't Schools for Freedom,
Richmond, Va,
Dear Sir,
  Today we send you by mail the first three books of the Analytical series of Readers. Those books are just ready for use, after the most careful preparation; and we consider that by their distinctness of typography, durability of manufacture, system of an experiment; value of selections, and more than all, the word method and object lesson system of teaching of the first books, they are better suited for use in Freedmen's Schools than any Reader heretofore published.
  Please examine them carefully & let us know your mind concerning them.
  If you have occasion to see the necessary books, please advise us.
  Yours very truly,
  Mama Bear,
  B
