416 July 27 Bvt. Lt. Col. S.P. Lee Colonel, I am instructed by the Asst. Com'r. to say, with reference to the applications of Sidney B Smith A.S.A.C. for $1000 for a school house at Leesburg, and of R.H. Dulaney for a [[?]] sum for a similar purpose that both papers are retained for future decision. No funds have yet been assigned us for these purposes, and until it is known what amount will be available it is impossible to make appropriations. Very Respy R.M. Manly Sup Ed.
