Mr. H.T. Owen
Meherrin Station Va.

Dear Sir:

I regret to be obliged to inform you that my efforts to secure the support of a teacher for your place have been unsuccessful. I am obliged to make the same return to all recent applications. The Associations maintaining the schools would gladly meet these demands but they severally inform me that it is all they can do to maintain the teachers already in the field. The expenditure for this state alone, for the present year, ending June next, will be over $125.000.

Very Resp'y
R.M. Manly
Supt. Freedmens Schools
