Raleigh 3rd Sept 1865 My dear Sir On my return home last night I mentioned to May & Milly your recommendation of Miss Sally Williams. They both seemed to think she would not answer at all & I therefore wish to ask that you will not trouble yourself to go to Chapel Hill for the purpose of employing her. I must look out here for some one that will suit.

I found Mildred better than when I left home & I hope She will continue to improve-- I got home last night about 8 Clock having done all I could do now at the plantation.

May & Milly send love to all- to which please add mine - I hope you succeeded in disposing of your Stack -

Yours truly George Mordecai

very happily. My Mother does work as a Semp[s]tress in different families, & gets work for me when I am able to do it, she has many friends here & more work than she can do - James has constant work at his trade, & Bryant works in the College Garden. I want to ask the favor of Mr Mordecai to go to my Minister, Mr Pell, & ask him to send me a letter of recommendation to a Methodist Church here, I have not yet joined any, & am desirous to have

a letter from my Minister to show, before I do so. There is a large & flourishing Baptist Church here, of which my Mother is a member, & I go to Church with her now, but I would like to get a letter to the Methodist. I wish much to know how all my friends are, particularly Miss Mildred, please remember me kindly to her. Please give my love to all my friends & companions who may enquire for me.

Yours respectfully

Agnes Bergwin
