Norfolk Va
May 4th 1869

R A Manly
Supt Ed Va

Dear Sir
I forward teachers reports of the schools much reduced by the occupation of the pupils in picking, planting &c
The Taylor Farm School I have closed for same reason & that the decrease was greater: all there will be employed until the fall.
The people in whose locality I have had schools show much more inclination to labor than formerly.
Yours truly
Ada W Smith
Supt Schools PEH &c
