No letter has yet been received from Geo C Carbelle relative to lease of the Danville property. AH Jones, our Supt will attend to this when he goes to N. Carolina about the 1st proximo. The Com on Instruction have decided to act upon the suggestion to open or adopt 5 or 6 new schools in S.W. Va. on the R.R. near or beyond Newbern. Capt Shaeffer has been requested to report where they are most needed. The Com do this with the understanding that aid will be furnished by the Bureau and from the Peabody fund through the agency. The chairman of the Instr Com regretted not having met them here, he overlooked the appt till too late.
