Freedmen's Bureau Records: Thomas P. Jackson to R.
M. Manly, November 11, 1867
Summary:
Jackson's letter alludes to a resolution in the matter between John Scott and
Mary Rowell, and he references an "embarrasing" assumption about an engagement
with Miss Rowell, but the meaning of the letter is unclear.

Staunton, Virginia,
Sir
Your endorsement on Mr. Kennedy's letter of November 8
is a relief as it settles definitively the [illeg.] current time as to
the schools and Mr. Scott. My only object (having no preference) is that the
school shall succeed & it will but there has been an
[unclear: unwilling] movement caused by hope Mr. Scott and others would
be engaged which has embarrassed

myself and Miss Rowell. The board
money I have arranged & have advanced for Wood &c myself.
Very respectfully
Your obedient servant
Thos P. Jackson
