Dear Brother
Yours of the 3rd has been rec'd.

Mr Downey is reliable and so far as I know has business integrity.

The names of the Trustees of the Colored school are

There has been a colored teacher here named Powel  I do not know whether he will return.

Much obliged to you for the case of the books. Please send it to Bishop L. Scott, Odessa, Del. I enclose the stamps necessary. Will be glad to see you at any time

Yours &c
