the appointments required.

I have written to the Rev. R. S. Rust Secretary of Freedmens Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church (Cor. 5th and Main Streets, Cincinnati, Ohio) writing that he will commission you as one of the Teachers of the Association. Should you wish such an appointment finally I have no doubt that the same will be made. 

Should you desire to communicate with Rev. Rust by letter you may refer to this office for the listing of your laudable and commendable efforts of the past.

Very respectfully
Your obedient servant
C. E. Compton
