Albany, Ga. Dec. 25. 1865.

General Tillson

Dr Sir yours of the 21st is at hand & am glad to hear you say you can furnish the children or orphan boy from 10 to 14 years of age I will go to work & make easy arrangement for their reception & will take as many as three hundred if you can furnish them & I know they will be a thousand times better off than they will be under any other situation if I can be supplied with them.  I will make every arrangement to have them comfortably fixed & to give them a plain english education.
