Rapid Ann Sta June 7th 1868 D. M. Manly Dear Sir: By request of Maj Morse, and as Treasurer of the building Committee on Brooked Rn Church & School house for the Col People. I write to see if you cannot assist us in the execution of the aforesaid house. The frame has been completed by workmen who have left and will not return unless money can be raised. I think it very important that this house should be completed as the Col people seem very desirous to learn & you know they are not competent to carry on this work with out some aid. In fact the house will have to be discontinued unless you can aid us. Yours Respectfully James Gardner Jr Rapid Ann Sta Culpepper Co Va
