The Anglo-African prints letter from
the Rev. James Lynch, colored man,
missionary and superintendent at Beau-
fort South Carolina, the object of which
is to disabuse the minds Of the colored
people in relation to the willingness Of the
Nstionol Freedmen's Relief Association to
employ oolored teachers to labor among the
freedmen. Now, nothing can be more un-
just than to charge this upon the sssocia
tion. l have the very best authority for
stating that they are not only willing but
anxious 10 employ persons Of color for the
work, provided they possess education,
character, and refinement, and give evil
denoe Of their ability to teach"
A gentleman connected with the Freed
mans Relief Association sends us Mr..
Lynch's letter with this note:
The writer is q cOlored man himself,
and one Of the most intelligent and enter
prising agents Of the National Freedmen's
Relief Association. It is true, as he states,
we are willing sHd anxious 10 employ col.
ored teschers who are fitted by education
and other qualifications for the work. We
have now at Beaufort sixty in training for
this zery work"
