Rev. E. P. Smith. Sec &c

Dear Sir:
Your Rental Acct for qr. ending March 31 is rec'd and verified and forwarded approved with the exception of the schools at Eastville, Hampton, and Church Hill. I have been paying the rent on these, monthly, to Gen. Armstrong, since Jan. 1 by his request.

All I learn and have learned, for a long time, of Mrs. Parker's pretended school at Alexandria has made me feel that it is wrong to be taking money that is so much needed where it will really do good, and pay it where it is not helping to educate anybody. Her report of 60 pupils, to state it mildly is a fiction. Ought not the A.M.A. and the Bureau to be freed from that encumbrance?

Very Respy
R. M. Manly
