Beaufort, SC. Dec 27th 1869.

Rev R.M. Manly,

Esteemed Friend;

Mrs Annie E. Alston owes me $15.00/00 which she informs me she has authorized you to forward.  I did not write as I promised as there was some clashing over the matter, and I was not decided until the 30th of Sept that I would not be sustained at Richmond.  I suppose you presumed this by not hearing from me on the 15th.  I hope any place in your school is better supported.  I hope it will be my fortune to teach in your state another year - if nothing else more profitable turns up.  I am succeeding very will thus far.  Please remember
