Alexandria Va Oct 19th 1865.

Chaplain J.W. Bushong
Actg Supt, &c.

Chaplain,

I have the honor herewith, to make application, for a building for school purposes, 12 by 14 ft.  The one now occupied by us for the above purposes, is too small, and if possible we wish to enlarge it, making the dimensions 34 by 50.  Having been employed by the National Freedmen's Association, I wish a room large enough to accommodate the numerous children, constantly applying for admission to my school.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt' Servt,
