649 496. 225 / March 17 0 Mrs. Ella Henry Arlington, Alexandria Co Va Yours of the 10th inst is rec'd. There are not funds at my control now for the establishment of new schools. I am sorry if there are so many children [[strikethrough]] scholars [[/strikethrough]] as you say without schools, but it is too late to provide for them this spring. Unless you can get some society to aid you. Yours Truly R.M. Manly Supt. Ed. 495. 241/ March 17 0 Miss M.E. Stratton Box 77, Alexandria Va I do not know any remedy for the case you present, unless Mrs. Lowell will furnish it. You might write to her and ascertain. The only help the Bureau can give is $10 per month to which probably I could add $5 from the Peabody Fund. That is all I can control or get sight of - and that does not board and salary a teacher. Very Respy R.M. Manly Supt Ed P.S. The above is what I'd do now. Whether I can do it a month hence will need to be ascertained R.M.M.
