AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION /
New York. Nov. %. 1S65.

Charles Idppon, Esq:
My dear Sir,CYours Of the 22d instant was
duly received, and we are rejoiced to learn
that you are once more ready to devote time
without compensation, for the benefit of the
freedmen of the South. Let me assure you
that there never was time when such he j
was more needed. The following extracts
froma document recently prepared by one oil
the secretaries Of this association will present
the facts which justify the generous efforts
you propose to make, and call loudly for the
henefactions OF the phlanthropist and Chris
tian.
From the superintendent of schools, from
officers appointed by government and others,
alarming reports relative to the condition and
prospects of the freedmen have claimed our
attention, and demand immediate action.
The restoration of abandoned and confscat-
ed lands is fast rendering houseless and home
less and helpless thousal ads OF these families.
In one district in Virginia, the present super
intendent says that probably fifteen thousand
of these people will be turned away from their
homes and left with no means of support On
one plantation or farm called Acretown. be
cause each family had one acre assigned it,
were three hundred families, many of them
wives and children or widows and orphans OF
colored soldiers. This farm is ordered to be
cleared.
In another district in Virginia it is estimat-
ed by those best qualified to know, that no
less than twenty thousand persons viii be thus
made homeless, and the superintendent OF
schools in that State under the Assistant
Commissioner Of the Bureau says, that in
Eastern Virginia at low estimate, the num-
Der who are thus being elected from the farms,
which are being repossessed by late rebel own
erS, cannot be less than 10000, and thai the
great majority of them will be left not only ut
Terry homeless, but without any possible means
OF support, just at the beginning of winter
Disease and death have already commenced
their work, and we dare not trust ourselves to
state the number of those who, it is estimated.
must perish before the opening of spring. I'M,
less the kindness of government or an abound-
ing charity bring speedy relief. ny
Like causes are coming into operation in
south Carolina and elsewhere, and thousands
upon thousands, unless government interposes
In thelr BEHALF will be driven from their little
homes me and left by former owners to perish.
wishing you great success, am,
ltL very respectfully, yours, &C.,
