Rev R M Manly

I return herewith vouchers signed for rent of this month. The receipt of the past month with yr check came to hand but is mislaid among my papers. I am sorry I cant put my hands on it just now to return with my endorsement I will endeavor to do so in receipting for this mo's rent. My School closes to morrow. The N.Y. Society proposes in letter to me to day to aid as much as $20 pr month to keep up my School and if the Peabody fund will aid $20 I will open it in October again - and take the residue upon the cold people here. Dr Sears informed me some time since that you managed that portion of the fund which applied to the Freedmen. If this can be done you will let me hear from you as soon as practicable that I may know how to act in reference to other proposals

Very Respectfully
