render us assistance will you allow me to make a direct appeal to Genl Howard? I have several influential friends at Washington who would gladly use their influence with him in our behalf. 

My letter of the 1st inst. contained also vouchers for rent of buildings used for our school, the same approved by the Sub. Asst. Commr. here. 

The Bureau paid rent on said buildings from August 1st /67 to Jan 1st 1868. Will you be so kind as to give the above vouchers your approval & hand them to Col. Beecher?

I should also say, in this connection, that there is another building, not referred to above, used for our school, and which the Bureau have rented of H.V.M. Miller of Atlanta Ga. paying him Ten Dollars pr. month for the same.

Wishing that you might look in upon us while at our work here, and hoping to make your acquaintance sometime,
