Mr. Wm F. Gardner. (colored).
New Garden, Russell Co., Va    

Sir, 
Your letter of May 26th is received. The $45 00/100 named in your letter, and which I have received authority to expend in repairs upon your school is to pay you the amount claimed as due you from this Bureau, it has to be done in this way if done at all- 
You are, I believe, aware that the Bureau has no authority to pay salaries to Teachers- It only extends aid in rents and in aiding in the construction or repairs of school Houses. 
Send along the vouchers signed if you want the money- the sooner the vouchers are received, the sooner you will get the money-
Yours &c
R.M. Manly
Supt. of Education
