182 Vol 1/68
Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands,
Headquarters, 3d Division 11th Sub-District Virginia.
Boydton, Va. Nov 24th 1868.

Rev R M Manly,
Supt Education
Richmond Va

Sir:
I have the honor to ask that you will send me two more sets of Vouchers, for Teachers to draw from the Peabody Fund, for the use of Mr Sanfor M Dodge of the "Andrews" School at Boydton Va and Ann Smith of the "Graham" School at Clarksville Va. These two Teachers have been laboring faithfully in their respective schools for some time past, and their pupils are progressing rapidly. But the colored patrons of the schools are trying very hard to have money raised for the purpose of building, consequently have almost entirely ignored their obligations towards the Teachers. And if the Teachers cannot receive outside help their school's must go down in January 1869.
 
Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Serv
