Dear Sir
There are several instances of persons becoming deranged while teaching colored schools in this State under pay of the Bureau, with from one to three months salary due.
We might secure their payment from heal funds on hand if they could sign the proper vouchers, and tho expense of having a conservator or Guardian approved is so great as to burden their friends who are in needy circumstances,
Is there any way by which this expense can be obviated and they receive pay for their Invoices
Very Respectfully
Your obedient servt
