Xenia Ohio, August 28 /68
Mr. R.M. Manly
Dear Sir

Yours was duly recd. I have laid the matter before the Exec Com. of the Board for Freedmens Mission of the Refd. P. Church. The want of funds to meet the Salary of Teachers is all that is in the way. I have written to the Teachers that were there before to return & resume their labors. I have also prepared an appeal to the members of the R.P. Church for aid to this mission that will be published next week in our paper which ought to have done sooner But it is only about ten days since I heard from Mrs Sillerman & of their desire to return. I sent an order for Transportation. perhaps it may avail something. We would like to furnish four teachers and accept half of that building. we will do what we can 
Yours Truly
J.C. McMillan
