The need of the establishment
of a Freedmen's School at Pearisburg Giles County Va. has been represented to us. In ease we should send and pay the salary of a good teacher, and  furnish books and other materials for use in a School, would the Freedmen
and others in the vicinity engage
to provide a suitable School House, fuel & light, and to furnish such a leather with Board?

Please advise what co-operation
may be expected in the undertaking

By direction of the Committee
on Instruction
