Colord Rudy Ch. School
Caroline Co, Va. Sept 15/69

Mr. R.M. Manly, 

Sir I respectfully inform you of my going to [[strikethrough]] moove [[/strikethrough]] moove my school to the Church on the 1st. of October next and the reason is that I do not like the way that Timo F. Courtney is acting about my pay and that he wants me to give him more for board than I have been giving him & I cannot do it. & I can get a larger night-school at the Church than I can here too. So I wish you would grant me transportation to the Church. it is a much better place for school any how than here in the [[strikethrough]] yard [[/strikethrough]] yard  You will please let me know before I make my next report that I may moove on the first of Oct. /69

The better the location is the better it is for teaching. 

Your obedient servant, 
D.J. Richardson, Teacher
Ruthes Glen, P.O.
Caroline Co. Va.

P.S. I wrote you a letter but did not know whether you got it or no as I have not heard from you of it
