Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands,
Head-Quarters Assistant Commissioner, District of Virginia
Richmond, Va, March 14 1868
Thos. P. Jackson 
A.S.A.C
Sir: A communication from Mrs. Cheney, sec. Teachers Com. of the N. E. Branch F.U. Com. inquires after some healthy location, high, where it would be safe "to stay in summer xx where a lady who wishes to teach the Freedmen can start a new school? One prefers new schools with whom she can carry out her own methods. She is an elderly lady who has had great experience in teaching and is highly recommended &c - She goes without salary and only expects school-house food and to be furnished - will probably be accompanied by an assistant."
If you know of any place which will meet or nearly meet these requirements please give a full account of it as soon as possible as the parties wish to enter their next work at once.
Very Rsps.
