Much work on our project, which seems to be going very well. Rev. Harbaugh has three colored boys in his class. Brought back from Virginia as contraband by our volunteers. They came here totally illiterate, now know their letters. Read well and cipher satisfactorily. One has been admitted into the church and the others promising. It was a pleasing sight to see these poor outcasts, far from their native soil pursuing the light of liberty. I hope they do not fall under the influence of many of the debased Africans now filling up our towns.
