Knoxville Tenn
Aug 2nd 1867

Rev D Burt
Dear Sir I have understood the Freeedmens Bureau intends to give transportation to teachers coming to the field.  If so will you please obtain transportation for the following teachers appointed to Knoxville Tenn. by the U.P. Board of Freedmens Mission viz. Thos Creswell from Wellsville Columbiana Co. Ohio via Stubenville Cincinnati and Nashville Sallie J Balph from New Castle Lawrence Co. Pa. via Pittsburgh Cincinnati and Nashville Lizzie J Hill from Pittsburgh Pa via Cincinnati and Nashville. There is another teacher appointed but I am not informed of her P.O. address or from what point she will want transportation. For fear it might be too late - after finding that out - to forward trans. to the above I make application for them now. Our schools will open the first Tuesday of September.
Yours Sir very truly
Saml B Moore
