Oct. 16, 1934
To the Public School Board of Loudoun Co. Va;
We the undersigned Colored Citizens ofPaeonian Springs, Va., are very much in need of a school for our children. We have 24 that are school age.
We are too far from Waterford to send the little ones and there is no transportation provided.
There is a building in the community that could be used for school purposes.
Is it possible for us to have our children in school this term, by opening a school or having transportation furnished by the County?
We do not know just what to do so we turn to you for solutions.
We are dear sirs, anxious parents and citizens.
Here is a list of parents and children.
