Lowell Mass May 29th, 1865 My dear Captain- I enclose you a copy of a note which I have written to Gen'l Howard I do not believe it is best for the interests of the negro, that the school as established near Fortress Monroe for colored children should be broken up, or essentially changed. I trust you agree with me in my opinion, as it will be within your Department- By retaining it as it is, you will confer an obligation which will be remembered by Yours truly Benj.
