Dear Sir
We take the privilege of addressing you in behalf of the Freedmen of this vicinity, they being anxious to have a school and are unable to build a house unless assisted. 
They have the promise of a Teacher by the "American Missionary Society" and being informed that you have funds to distribute for the purpose of building School houses would respectfully call your attention to this their request, hoping that you will aid them in the building of a house.

Resp Your Obdt Servants
