Bvt. Major General O.O. Howard U.S.A.
Commissioner.

General,

I have the honor to recommend an appropriation of one hundred (100) Dollars for the purchase of building material for a School House at Cherry Hill, Lancaster Co. Va, and of Fifty (50) Dollars for a School House at White Pine, Lancaster Co. Va.  In both cases the freedmen own the land, and have school-houses well advanced, the buildings enclosed and will contribute all the labor required to complete the houses.

I am, General
Yours respectfully
R.M. Manly
Supt. of Ed.
