Galveston, Texas, Mar. 18th, 1869

Rev. Joseph Welch
Supt. of Education
Austin Texas

I have the honor to inform you that my monthly report is delayed because of the fact that I have thus far been unable to obtain the reports are from the teachers. I cannot report as they have no blanks and cannot furnish them as I have none. I have written to you twice to be furnished them but so far have received none.

I write you this in order that you may understand the reason for delay and again respectfully request that blanks for the teachers reports be sent me immediately in order that I may respond to the teachers calls and get in my monthly report more promptly.

Very Resp
Wm H Sinclair Asst. Supt. of Ed.
