Dear Sir

I have the honor to forward School report for the month of July 67

The school closed on the 5th of the month for the summer vacation.

Both teachers are remaining here and will be ready to commence again in September (ie if they can get money enough to pay their board till then)  The prospect is very good for the next term of school we have hopes that they will be self-sustaining.
Learning that we could not build a school house at [[?Vanhuins]] this year I rented a school house 16 by 35 ft for one year pay the rent in repairing the house; which is now done 
The Sabbath schools are prospering though we want Libraries very badly
I am very respectfully
Your Obt Servt
EG Barker
Agent

PS
Please collect and forward  the amount due Miss Farrer and Mr Howard for transportations from the Rock here, they are in great need of it 
Yours EGB
