Yours of the 8th is before me. I advise no change while your numbers continue as at present, and I have no doubt they will increase to 75 or 100 by the close of the month.

May I suggest that Camp's Intermediate be the first and only book of Geography used in the colored schools - such was my plan after having the subject for some time under advisement. Oral instruction may very properly supply the place of a primary book and both time and expense be saved thereby. I will procure Greene's Introduction - a very good book - and forward you to morrow if to be found in town; otherwise will order them to you from the north by mail. 

Very Truly Yours,
Wm. M. Colby,
Ass't Supt. of Schools.
