Kilmarnock Lancaster County, Virginia March 29, 1869 Reverend H.W. Manly Richmond, Virginia Dear friend, I expect you received a letter from me some two weeks since acknowledging the receipt of your check for eighteen dollars, I have also received the one for ten dollars from Colonel S. P. Lee. I am very grateful of the aid it affords me, I enjoy the work here very much although it is very hard. We have got a house almost ready for another school about 8 miles from me, and when it is ready I shall try to get a teacher for the place from the North I expect to go down there again in a few days. You will find herewith enclosed my reports, I send a day or two earlier as we do not have but two mails a week. Yours Truly M.C. Foster
