Mr Manly

Sir

You will find here in enclosed those vouches I have singed them.  Eight dollars was the sum that was agreed to be paid for the rent.  A contract was made between the owner of the school house, and the Agent of the Freedmen's Bureau at Boydton Va (Mr Graham) and singed and has never heard from it since, He asked me to write you word about it as he thought that you might have heard something about it.  You said that you thought the Peabody fund would cease after June.  My school will be out then, but I do not intend to give but a weeks a vcation.  If you can secure me twenty five cents from any other fund
