Bvt Cap C.S. Schaeffer Asst Sup.

Captain:
I am in correspondence with different associations, in pursuit of Teachers for Neck Creek and Newbern, and hope to be successful. Meantime I write to say that I think the estimate of expense for the school house at Newbern will have to be cut down. The appropriation asked for is too large for the exhausted condition of the funds available and the much there is to do. Please let the estimate be revised, so as to leave something to be done out of the next years appropriation.

I find no report of the school at Christiansburg in the Monthly Reports of Schools (Statistical) for the 8th Dist, and none of the school at Newbern. The Supt of the Dist. has blank forms, and all the schools of every kind should be reported.

Very Respy,
R.M. Manly
