Asst. Comr &c &c.

Sir:
I have the honor to request leave of absence for ten (10) days in order to proceed north for the purpose of obtaining two additional instructors for the “Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute” and a competent person to become Principal of the so called “Armstrong” school at Church Hill near Hampton, consisting of four subordinate schools or grades.

I know of no other way in which to secure prompt results and proper teachers and the need of them is immediate.

The affairs of my office in my absence will be in charge of my late clerk
