BRANCH OFFICE Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company, Banking House, Buttus, Harrison J Co.'s Building, No. 14 Main Street, Norfolk, Va., Nov. 3. ,1869. Rev R. M. Manly, Supt. Education. Dear Sir: Both branches of our City Council have voted $4000.- For the colored schools, but the Select Council will have to concur in the action on a minor point, before we get the money. This, however is sure. Can you help us to a small slice of the "Peabody Fund?" I shall be at the American Missionary Rooms 53. John St N. Y. next Monday morning, to try and arrange for co-operation with them.
