C.W. Buckley, Esq.
Dear Friend.
My stay in Clarke and Monroe counties was necessarily so much prolonged that the 15th and 20th of July both passed without my being able to communicate with you in regard to our trip into Pike county. If it is not too late, I would like to have you write what your notions about the matter are now. I shall have to go into the count to pursue a special investigation and would like to have company, and do a little political missionary work at the same time. 

Mrs. Clancy has been laboring very hard with over a hundred scholars, and hopes she may have a month's rest in August. She hopes that you will be able to continue her salary, or she cannot tell how to live. I recommend most heartily that whatever can be done in the matter for her welfare should be so done.

Very Respectfully
Your friend, 
Sam S Gardner
