Balto. Novr. 3rd. 1869 Bvt. Maj. D. G. Swaine Supt of Education Washington, D.C. Major In answer to yours of the 1st. inst. asking for information regarding the colored schools of this city, I have the honor to report 13 Public Schools, employing 29 teachers, with a roll of 1402 scholars. The no. of private schools I dont know, and as to the Sabbath schools I am also without information. To get the information concerning the last two classes of schools mentioned would require a great deal of time and a corresponding expense as nothing short of canvassing the city would obtain it. Very Resp'y. Yrs. [[signature]] Jno. Core [[signature]] A. A.
