Christiansburg, Va.,
Oct. 16th 1869,
Rev R M Manly 
Supt. of Ed. Va.
Dear Sir;
I think I shall succeed in purchasing Building Lot for the Freed-people at Clover Depot - as see per inclosed Communication from I W Cromwell. I have this day transmitted Deed ready to fill in date, &c, and should it meet the approval of the Freed-people, I will then transmit the $20.00 to the Trustees to pay for the lot. Probably you can thereafter obtain an appropriation to cover that amount - with sufficient to enable them to complete their School building. Will write you more definitely on receiving further information.

Very  Respectfully,
C S Schaeffer
