Brentwood, N.H. August 27th 1867 Rev. D. Burt, Dear Sir: - In a letter just received from Mr. Cravath he declines to commission us to return to Smyrna. It will be a great disappointment to the colored people if some teachers are not sent there this fall. And for their sakes, I can not think of entering upon any other work until I have made every possible endeavor to return.
