Allen A. Scott was a former slave who was taught by Martha Schofield. He writes to her from Lincoln University, a historically black university in Pennsylvania, where Schofield helped him gain admission. He talks about his health difficulties (Scott had been maimed by his enslaver and might be referring to ongoing complications of his injuries). He discusses his studies and invites Schofield to his commencement ceremony.
