The American Missionary Association, A National Society For The Education Of The Freedmen. Rev. E. M. Cravath, Secretary of the Middle West Department, which embraces the North-Ohio, Indiana & Eastern Michigan; in the South-Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama & Western Georgia. OFFICE, [[strikethrough]] 89 West Sixth [[/strikethrough]] 126 Elm STREET, Cincinnati, O., July 16th 1868. Rev. R. D. Harper. Supt. Ed. &c. Montgomery Ala. Dear Sir I can now answer your favor of the 1st inst only in part. The terms proposed by the Trustees are reasonable and as soon as possible I will give definite propositions relative to Montgomery. There are several questions pending which virtually affect our next years work & our plans cannot be fully laid yet. Relation to teachers I wish to say in general we cannot now give positive answers for next year. Of course preference must be given to those of our former teachers who wish to return & to teachers who are supported by churches. We shall send just as many others as we can possibly support. Most Truly Yours E. M. Cravath Secy.
