Madison C.H. Va. Oct 7th 1869

Rev. R.M. Manly

Your letter is received, I am sorry the Peabody aid is to be reduced or with-drawn. If you can give five and continue the Rent, I will try to stay long enough for them to get another teacher. Melody has left here, and they are depending entirely upon my School. I believe the most of the people here are willing to do all they can, but they are not in a condition to give much assistance. I hope you will do the best you can for my School.

Very respt- &c

R.D. Scott
