To all where these may come

Our friend Yardley Warner of Germantown Phila. Pa. who has been much engaged in Educational work, amongst the Freedmen of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee & Alabama and is a Minister of the Society of Friends, has been commissioned by the Missionary Board of Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, to organize and superintend schools for colour'd people in Tennessee and Alabama, & to solicit funds, supplies and material aid for the same.

A leading aim of this work is to render the schools self-sustaining as soon as possible and infuse amongst the people an interest in self-help, and all ways of right living.

By direction of the Board
