And I would most respectfully and earnestly join with them in making the above requests. Knowing as I do that the task which they voluntarily assume will be hard at best. And especially so to teachers who have always been accustomed to being surrounded with kind friends and easy circumstances. Therefore I would most respectfully recommend them to all the favors you can grant: Feeling confident in so doing that you will be richly  repayed in finding them valuable assistants and always ready to do what is right & just.

With very many kind wishes for the success of all parties herein named as well as all the workers in the cause of freedom I am very Respectfully yours
