Mr. Manly

Dear Sir

I write to inquire if you have any information more positive with reference to a certain capitation subsidy which you expected to aid in carrying on weak schools We want a school at City Point and there is a colored woman of education here who I think will teach it  The negroes there are the poorest and most inept of any in my Districts  I cannot start the school without feeling sure of outside aid  We have a building there  Please inform me as near as possible with reference to the fund in question and oblige

Respty Yours
