Sir

[[stamp]]THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF THE UNITED STATES[[/STAMP]]

I take pleasure in sending a receipt of the Draft in my favor for fifty dollars as remuneration for services as a teacher of the Colored School for the month of April 1867. This is the first money I have recieved from your Department, and I have been in this employment since the first of February last. You have very much relieved me in my present need and encouraged me to my duty.

Your most obedient
Pasquale Vassetti
