Wellville Nottoway Co Va April 17, 1869 Rev R. M. Manly Supt Education Richmond Va. Rev Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yours of 15th inst enclosing $25, for which please accept our thanks. If pofsible, it seems as though the "Peabody Fund" ought to do more for us, although it seems much, for what I get from that fund & for Rent in all received by one for & on account of the entire School and no more than pays & boards the young man employed by me in the School. If you could send us a few copies of books to enlarge clafses in those sent it would aid us much. I am Very Respectfully Y'r Ob't Sr't. J. N. Murdock
