Rev. R.M. Manley
Richmond Va.
Dear Sir
To whom do I forward the papers relative to mother's claim for back pay &c. of deceased soldier, "colored." Please inform me by return mail.
Also let me know if there is any permission made by the Bureau, towards assisting County colored School, in the way of rent or any other means of support, by which they may be encouraged and sustained.
I am giving all my time to the interests of the freed people in this section of Virginia and sustained by the "Friends" and other kindred benevolent associations in Philadelphia
