Richmond Va
Nov 20th 1865

Col O. Brown

Sir
I design leaving for city of New York on to morrow for the purpose of being present at the board meeting to be held at the Baptist Home Mission rooms on Thursday next. Permit me to say that this expense I shall incur on my own individual responsibility. I do not know that the board will make the appointment from the fact that such appointment does not come within the legitimate object of the board, yet they may do it. I wish you to advance me say fifteen or twenty dollars $20.00 as my funds are well nigh exhausted

Very Respectfully Yours
WM E Walker
