Sir,

In reply to your application for a teacher at Waynesboro, I have to state that Mr. Brackett will furnish a teacher on the following terms; the freedmen to board him, furnish fuel + pay him $10 per month

Mr. Waring a very intelligent colored man representing another society which is operating in the Valley will furnish a teacher if they will pay him $5 per month and fuel etc. for the school.

Please ascertain at once which proposition (if either) they accept. I would of course recommend the latter.

Very Respectfully

John A. McDonnell
Sub Assistant Commissioner
