Office Sup Education Richmond Va. Nov. 3 1868 Resply returned to Col. S.P. Lee Sub Asst. Com'r. The written application is not sufficiently explicit. It is important to know, how many pupils Mr. Robey had, how much tuition they pay him, and how much rent he has to pay. If his school is necessary, in addition to the public school, to meet the wants of the place, and if aid is necessary, it will need to be mended in the form of rent, for which application may be made.
