Washington, D.C. January 14th, 1869 

W.M. Colby, Esq, 
Supt. Education, 
Dear Sir: 
In my late note to you of Dec. 26th accompanying letter of Mr. Logan, a clerical error occurs. 
Instead of "if you will make the certificate" et cetera, it should read "if the secretaries of the various societies will make" et cetera. 
Please do what you can to have this done promptly. The circular was sent merely to inform you of what is wanted, in order to secure your cooperation.  
Very resp'y, Your obdt. svt. 
J.W. Alvord
Genl. Supt. Schools
P.S.
Your report will also be needed to corroborate certificate.
