Reverend Bishop Payne,
Dear Sir —We, the undersigned, having listened carefully to your Sermon, preached at the A. M. E. Ebenezer Church, on Sabbath last, April 13th, a day set apart by the Colored Churches in Georgetown and Washington as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer, in view of Emancipation in the District, and being deeply impressed by its appropriateness, its wisdom, and valuable practical advice; and believing that such a sermon should be within the reach of all the colored people of this District and the United States; we therefore solicit you to allow us to print the same in pamphlet form.
