Christiansburg Va Sept.26th.1868
Rev. R. M. Manly Supt. Education

Dear Sir & Bu.

Having learned that Capt. C. S. Shaeffer is to leave this place to take charge of Southhampton.
Having also heard in [[?]] that
Capt. Wilson had, or was going to leave Liberty - allow me to suggest or rather insist that Capt. Schaeffer be sent to Liberty and [[?]] Cos. We need such a man in those counties as the Capt.
I have been a Missionary to the Freedmen of these 4 adjoining counties since 1865 and know their wants, and I know Capt. Schaeffer well.
As an introduction please find enclosed copy of minutes of our [[Ap.?]]
Yours with great respect J. P. Connor (over)
