Harpers Ferry, W.Va.

My Dear Mr. Jackson,

Enclosed you will find a document, which I forward to you at the suggestion of Gen. Howard. When I was in his office the other day, I met Rev. Mr. Harris and Miss Rodney, [unclear: pleading] for their church. The Gen. called on me to know about it, and I told him as nearly I could how the case stood. He told me to make an application for them, and he would help by way of rent, just as he did others. I promised to do it and here you have the application. I certainly hope they will get the money, and that someone will be [illeg.] to [unclear: teach] a school in it.

Yours in haste

N.C. Brackett
