Dear Sir.
We have application to establish schools at the following points on the Eastern Shore, Va. viz.

[[2 columned table]]
|   | Scholars |
| --- | --- |
| at Thorntown. | 50 |
| Modeltown | 50 |

| Belle Haven | 75 |
| Bridgetown | 100 |
| Eastville | 50 |

We can supply the teachers, if suitable school houses can be furnished. This will require from $400. to $450. in each place, on an average.

Being here I have conferred with Gen H. who refers me to you. He thinks you can do it. Please reply at once, as we want to commence early.

Yours, G. Whipple
