Please inform me if you will leave the R.R. at any point — for instance to visit the schools in Botetourt Co. — so that I may make arrangements for conveyance &c.

I will now try to give you the time it will take.

For instance, suppose you arrived here on Monday night — stop over until Tuesday night — spend Wednesday at Goodson, Thursday at Abingdon — Friday at Marion & Wytheville — Saturday at Newbern (and possibly Neck Creek)  Go direct to Salem be there over Sabbath — Monday visit schools at Big Lick, Green Ridge & Cloverdale = Tuesday, Fincastle  It would take Wednesday to go to Buchanon & Lapsley's Run and perhaps Locust Bottom = Thursday to reach Rail Road = Friday at Liberty, &c.

Please select your preference of places to visit, as it will be impossible for us to make the entire trip within 10 days
