Lynchburg, VA., February 18th 1869.

Rev R. M. Manly
Supt of Education
Richmond. Va.
Sir

Numerous applications are made to me for school books for the different primary schools in this Sub District.

This morning a teacher applied for some and stated that you had books received from the Peabody fund and desired to obtain enough for his school of thirty or forty scholars
Have you any for issue?

Very Respectfully
Your obedient servant
R.S. LAcey
Asst Supt of Schools
