Pamplins Depot Va.
May 22 69

Rev. R. M. Manley
Supt. Education

Dear Sir,
The freedmen at Pamplins Depot. have a building under process of Erection, which is to answer the double purpose of Church and school.  It is 26 by 30 feet large and will have cost several hundred dollars when completed.  The freedmen are anxious to have the building completed but lack the means with which to do it.  Can the Bureau lend us a helping hand?  Fifty dollars would help us very much.  We desire to complete the house next month.  A Temperance society has been organized in the community, but its good work is much retarded for want of a proper place to hold meetings.

Very Respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant.
H. Varner
