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)
