Mr. Matth. N. Jackson

Dear sir:

Yours of the 25th is rcd.. I have referred to letter to you dated Dec. 24. 1867. The language is, "As soon as you commence your school you should write me of that fast and ask for an allowance of rent" etc. If you had followed that course, a lease would have been executed in the usual form and you would have recd. your rent monthly through the Bureau Office at Farmville. It is too late to remedy that defect. 
I wrote, a few days since, to Thos. P. Jackson, officer of the Bureau at Farmville for information in regard to your school among others at Charlotte [[C.H.??]] His subordinate officer Thos. Leahey (who has immediate charge of Charlotte [[C.?.]]) writes that he does not know of you or your school. You had better make yourself known to one or the other of these gentlemen, who being upon the ground can inspect  your school and make such recommendations as they see fit. Your business with this office, hereafter had better be transacted through the Bureau office at Farmville. 
Very Resp, 
R.M. Manly
