This is very precious money. Put it where it will do the most for the cause.

Inclosed find draft on the American Exchange Bank for $200, my subscription to your society for the Freedmen for the year 1879. I have heretofore given $100, but it seems to me very important that the Freedmen should be educated as fast as possible. As many of the educated men as possible should be kept in the Southern States to assist in educating the colored people and helping them to stand up for their rights.

Inclosed please find $5 for the American Missionary Association. As I am now nearly ninety years old, this, in all probability, is my last contribution to this good object. With my prayers for this and every object of Christian benevolence,
I am yours truly,
