Sir,
I have the honor to enclose Semi-Annual report of schools (statistical) for six months Ending July 1. 1869. Also report called for in Circular Letter of June 3rd 1869.
As the matter of my annual report relates to the six months ending July 1, 1869, unless otherwise specially stated I deem it unnecessary to re-write a narrative Semi-Annual.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient Servant,
Wm M. Colby
Suppt. Ed.
