Boydton Va December 1st 1869,
Mr Manly,
Sir,
My sister have been corresponding with you concerning a school that you promise to get for me,
She told me that you wish to see some of my writing,
I will now write you a few lines, and if this wont do, I can get a recommendation, from the president of the college at which I have been studying, I have been through the English Branches, I am older than my sister, I would like it very much if you could get me a school in Richmond or
