Respectfully forwarded to Maj Genl. O.O. Howard, Comr. for instructions

The class of persons that will be reached by this enterprise is much in need of instruction and the interests of the Government require their education as much as that of colored children. 

The society herein named, is under the control of gentlemen of the highest standing, and is every way adapted to carry out the undertaking. 

The history of their labors the past year is sufficient & guarantee that the work will be prosecuted successfully.
