Brevet Colonel J.G. Chandler,
Quartermaster U.S. Army.

Headquarters First Military District,
OFFICE CHIEF QUARTERMASTER,
Richmond, Va., May 24" 1869.

R M Manly Eq.

I am directed by Maj Gen Canby to consult you in reference to the building occupied by Cold. School at Farmville Va. This building is required for the use of the troops very much at this time and if you desire another building, I could either build or hire a school room. Will you inform me, what you think proper in the case. I understand the schools are to 
be discontinued on June 30th. But we want the building as soon as possible, otherwise the Govt. will have to build, at a great expense

Will you please answer by bearer & oblige

Yours respy
J.G. Chandler
Bvt Col & QM
