Bureau R. F. & A.L.
Office of A. S. A. Com'r 3rd, Div, 6th, Sub Dist. Va.
Tappahannock Essex Co. Va. March 25, 868.

Col. James Johnson,
Sub. Asst. Com'r.

Colonel;
I have the honor to request that the sum of One hundred ($100,) Dollars be appropriated by the Bureau to complete the building of a School-house at Centreville, King & Queen County, Va. - This building was commenced by the colored people some time ago and for the want of means they have been compelled to stop work; upon investigation I find that it will take at least the above amount to finish it. The ground which it is being built upon is bough and paid for by the colored people.

Very Respectfully, Your obt. servt.,
Wilson R. Westworth
A. S. A. Com'r.
