Dec 18'    7

Dear Sir,

Your report to me last year showed that the Commissioners had used $3192.16 more for the white schools than was  their due according to the enumerations.  Your report of Dec 5th shows that from the 1s of Jan to that date (Dec 5th) the Com'r has paid $1616.52 more for the Colored School than was their due according to the enumeration.

This pays a part of the last years debt but leaves $1575.64, still due the colored schools if they are to have their just due of the funds.

I respectfully ask you to send me [[next?]] month as soon after the 1s day as you can, a report of the Colored Schools.
