Bvt: Major Gen'l O.O. Howard U.S.A
Commissioner.

General,

I have the honor to request that Mr. C.S. Schaeffer of Christiansburg, may be appointed Asst: Supt. of Schools for South Western Virginia, with pay at the rate of $100 per month, for the time actually employed in executing specific orders from this Office, and that his expenses for travel and subsistence, while thus on duty, be paid by the Bureau in the usual manner.

Mr. Schaeffer's qualifications for this service are of the first order, and his employment, for a portion of the time (which is all I shall require) in that remote section of the State, will accomplish what cannot otherwise be done, and be an economy both of time and money.

I am, General
Very respectively
Your obt. Servant
R.M. Manly
Supt. of Ed
