who is a [more ?] efficient woman
than either Ann or myself, [has ?] had
a [concern ?] as [Friends ?] say to [go ?] to
[Post Port ?] Royal for a long time, I asked
her what she thought of [Alex. ?] she says
she thinks, as her [housing ?] would cost
so much, unless there is [more ?] to do
than Miss [Fr: ] can [perform ?], perhaps
the money would do the poor [creatures ?]
more good in the form of clothing.
[After I for ?] she and Miss [Fr: ?] could be [provided ?]
as are those gone to [Port Post ?] Royal with
rations and shelter, they could have a
much more comfortable domicile than
a hotel [affords ?]. When I taught in Washington
I had my own [home house ?], a part of the time
[I too colored ?] girls lived with me, yes
[three ?], and my receipts were twenty [dols ?],
a month, what Miss [F ?] pays for her [food board ?].
If something of this kind could be done
either of us or both would most gladly
go.
I have exhausted my paper [. ?] I must close
with thanks for the letters thine [. ?] ^Emily Howland^
