Sep - 6th 1869

R. M. Manly Esq
Richmond Va

Dear Sir
I wrote you Sometime ago in regard to a freedman's School at Wilburn Chapel in this County, but have not received an answer. I asked for the appointment of Mr Madison Lowry as teacher of Said School and I also promised to aid him But it is now thought best for me to accept the position if it should be your pleasure to appoint me. I was asked to take charge of the School when I recommended Mr Lowry Col. I am a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
