Dear Sir [[stamp]] THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF THE UNITED STATES [[/stamp]]
I understand that you are giving aid to the Freedmen, in regard to educational matters and as I am here from NY, teaching a Freedmens school I have been advised to consult you by Dr. Rust of Cincinnati who is helping me what our society is able. The Freedmen have erected a building and have a title for the land. What I need is maps & a blackboard, we have none and they are an absolute necessity.
