September 7th  9.

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

General,

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of communication of the 1st inst limiting my expenditures in behalf of the Bureau, for rentals, repairs and constructions to $25.000, from Sept 1st inst, to  July 1st 1870.

I assume that the rental accounts forwarded to me for verification by the charitable associations, but paid at Washington are not to be charged against me as a part of my $25.000.  But that I may feel entirely sure of the ground I stand on, will you have the kindness to confirm my understanding of this matter.

Respectfully 
R.M. Manly 
Supt. of Ed

W.110. 1st Vol/69.
