I have a friend here who has the tallent and will to aid in (the now) most momentous of all works - that of reconstruction.

I allude to Judge Wm. Mills - now Acct. Ass't Qu.M., No. 45½ Cherry Street.  x  He has had nearly 4 years experiense in Nashville, and in my view, comprehends fully the present crisis. - At Home, Yellow Springs, O. He is known and recognized as a man of unusual ability, and always took the front rank in the great Anti-Slavery & educational Movement of the day x   Again, There is a Graduate of Antioch College - C.W. Christy - now Supt. of The Soldiers Home - at Memphis that I should be pleased to see in your department x His moral fitness and correct business habits are above praise - He is one out of the many.

If you should have any occasion - for Lady Teachers - for the contrabands on Reffugee Children - I think I can induce 3 or more, to come from Antioch College, where, on the evening of the 26th at a public meeting I took occasion to urge the immediate formation of a "Freedmens Aid Society" to act in conjunction with you at this point x I should have been glad to have had an interview with you, But must leave on the 8.30 train for my company. being on furlough which will expire tomorrow x

Previous to enlisting I was Supt. of Colored Sabbath School at Yellow Springs, O. 

Yours Very Cordially
