Christiansburg Va. Sept. 23rd 1867.

Rev. R.M. Manley
Supt. of Education Va.
Dear Sir - Enclosed herewith please find copy of communication received on this date, from the Friends Freedmen Association of Philadelphia, and before complying with their instructions, I would respectfully request information, whether or not, any arrangements have been made to supply newborn, Pulaski County, and Blacksburg Montgomery County with teachers. If not I think it advisable, hat their claims should first be attended to, as those are places of more importance than Pearisburg, and have more than double, in population, of colored people. I would like your advie on this subject, as Newbern is a place of the 1st importance (next to Christiansburg) and has a good School House, in readiness for a teacher.
