Freedmen's Bureau Records: R. M. Manly to Crammond Kennedy, October 21, 1867

Summary:
Manly relays Thomas Jackson's request for an assistant teacher to Kennedy. The school in Staunton will have too many students for one teacher to handle.

Rev. Crammond Kennedy

Oct. 21

Dear Sir:

A letter from Tho's P. Jackson, Bureau Agt. at Staunton says "Do send an assistant and companion, as soon as possible for Miss Rowell -- we have now 112 scholars registered for her school, a number she cannot possibly control." This was written Thursday last. The school is to open today. Have faith and send Miss R. a helper. I hear nothing from Misses Howe and Hancock. It is bad very bad.

Truly Yours

R. M. Manly
