Sir:
Will you please inform this office at your earliest convenience of the name and location of the 
several teachers of colored schools, employed by your Society, in the State of Tenn.

This information is desired in order to determine the amount of money which can be devoted to the repair and construction of School houses for the colored people, after providing for the payment of the several benevolent associations operating in Tenn.

Can you furnish a few teachers to new locations

Very respectfully
Your obedient servant
