Gen. S. c. Armstrong
Sub. Asst. Com'r.

My Dear Sir:

I am directed by Gen'l Brown to write, in reference to the application for the rent of a log house 18 x 20 feet, at New Boston, 
1st to inquire whether a competent teacher has been provided for that place. This is the primary and invariable condition upon which an appriation [[appropriation]] is made.

2d  To protect against higher rents at New Boston Accomac Co. than in the city of Richmond. The price asked ($8.) is three dollars more than the same sized room, in a better building, would be here.

Very Respectfully 
R. M. Manly
