Sir
I have the honor to call your attention to the fact that an allowance of Rent has yet been received by Samuel Bolling of Cumberland Co. for School house which he provided near Locust Grove in lieu of school discontinued near same place by Miss Morrons. Both Mr. Clinton and myself promised that rent should be transferred from Locust Grove to Bolling, and under this promise a competent colored teacher was engaged and the school has been in session since Dec 14 68. The self help exhibited by the people here deserves fulfilment of promises held out and I respectfully ask if possible Acct be allowed Samuel Bolling from Dec 14 68
