Wytheville Va
Feb 7th 1867.

My dear friend
Several gentlemen are making an exertion to start a school in Tazwell Co Va. for the Freedpeople. They have requested us to ask assistance of you in starting and to inquire whether the Friend's Association will furnish them a teacher  We have also been solicited to assist in procuring teachers for Christiansburg, Montgomery Co, and Saltsville Smythe Co Va. In these places the people are suffering for the want of teachers. if the Association cannot help us will you be good enough to advise us what to do or where to apply?

Respectfully
Helen Smith
