[[stamp]] The National Archives of the United States [[/stamp]] General Swayne Sir, Has the United States made any appropriation for the education of Coloured people, I am constantly being appealed to by the negroes to teach them if I could be paid for it I would open a School in October for them but we are very poor, I cannot teach negroes any longer with pay. I can have a large room that will accommodate fifty persons, My Husband has a classical School for boys, I am an educated woman and will teach the Colored people just as well as I ever did white people.
