User-Contributed Transcription Branch Office,National Freedman's Savings and Trust Co.,No. 14 Main StreetNorfolk, VA., March 10 1870,Miss C. H. EverettDear Madam:I have forwarded three letters to your address Remsen N.Y. which you gave me. Norfolk still exists. Our School Comrs. are trying to get school houses for the accommodation of the children.I am a little uncertain of their ultimate success in the matter of School management.I hope you are "Safe, safe at home", + enjoying the familiar faces + words of dear Home friends. We watched you as long as time would permit, + as we turned away, said; too bad - too bad - (+ worse than all), sent home on such a miserable pretext as this.I am content when I think, of a just God, who will meet out to the children of men their deserts, for all the iniquities of this life.Yours, in grateful remembrance, M. H. L'HommedieuLock Box 52.
