Mr W.M. Colby Supt &c

Dear Sir
At the instance of Mr. Alvord, I ask for information as to the number of schools, teachers & scholars,  established by the Romish Priesthood in the bounds of your field.

If not too much trouble, I should like also to have the number (approximate) of the churches, chapels or meeting places for Colored Congregations and estimated attendance.

Your service in this matter will greatly aid the cause we have in change, & oblige

Yours Truly, 
J.G. Butler
