Fra. Geo. Shaw
Pres N.Y. Br. F.U. Comm
Dear Sir:
In my visit to Washington I was successful in securing aid to enable the Rich'd Educational Ass'n to purchase the Navy Hill School property of you. The conveyance is to be to Samuel Ruth, Treas. Richmond Educational Ass'n and must bind the association 'to use the property, or the proceeds of it for school purposes for Freemen or for children irrespective of color forever'. Please have a copy of a deed made (but not executed) and forward to use for approval by the proper authorities. As soon as the papers are executed we shall be prepared to pay the amt. you require, hoping it will well exceed $1800.
Very Respy, Your Obt Servt
