Robert Benson was the business manager of the Schofield Normal and Industrial School in Aiken, South Carolina, a school for African Americans founded by Pennsylvania Quaker Martha Schofield. Anna Jackson was a trustee of the school. Benson encloses a letter from Mr. Murray regarding Miss Wilson. He praises Wilson's organizational skills but says there is danger in entrusting money to "these people" (possibly referring to African Americans). He adds that "responsible, competent leaders are as scarce as Booker Washington."
