Rev. R. M. Manly
State Superintendent 

Dear Sir:
Having just returned from a Leave of Absence I have but now received your favor of the 28th inst, relative to a teacher for this place. 
During my absence I received a letter from Richard Foster (col'd) who you may remember taught for some time at the "Shiloh" Church in this County, and was very anxious to secure the Ashland School. I immediately wrote to him to come, so as to be here by the 1st of April; when he could begin with much promise. 
It is possible that this is the one to whom you refer. If so, let him come at once. 
If not it would perhaps be better to wait for a week or more when if nothing
