353 623. 276/385 Sept. 8 9 Miss Octavia R. Moss Yours of the 21st Ult. would have been answered immediately if I had been at home. Have just returned from a long absence in the North. Enclosed find $5.00 for Aug. Peabody. In regard to your sister, I should be very glad to have her come to Virginia to teach, but it would not be possible to get a place for her in this city, at first. These places are filled for the coming year. If she took a country school and did finely she could come to the city afterward at better wages. If she will come I can safely promise her a good country school, with $15 per month beside her board. Your Truly R.M. Manly Supt Education
