Dear Sir
I wrote and forwarded the above letter to Dr Sears of Staunton He kindly informed me that in yourself is vested the power and right to make disbursements for the educational interests of the colored people of Virginia, and respectfully returned the same that I might forward it to you. 
I ask therefore, in the name of Christ, that you will grant us the much needed aid.
Respectfully Yours
Elizabeth James
