Dear General HowardHoward, Oliver 0.

:

Mrs [Trenifida?], the Lady bearing this has a fierce poem which she wishes to deliever on Sunday Evening in the Congregational Church. The Poem is on her honored friend the late Charles Sumner. It is a deeply religious poem and is every way suited to the religious character of th time and place upon which she wishes to deliver it. I am sure you will do what you can to favor her application.

Yours Very truly

Fredk Douglass
