Dear Sir:
A community of first colored people in Goochland Co. have made arrangement for the establishment and support of a school in their midst. A teacher has been engaged and they want transportation for her which can be secured only through some society.

The lady is Miss Zilpha R. Harper of Waterloo Center Maine. Her transportation should be from Limerick, York Co. Me. to Richmond Va. Will you procure transportation for her at once and forward it to  [[strikethrough]] her [[/strikethrough]] Waterloo Center. The school will not make any demands upon your funds.

I can fully endorse the enterprise.

R.M. Manly
Asst. Supt Ed.
