General:

Rev Dr Harper, Supt of Education having little knowledge of Bureau affairs, and being without the necessary acquaintance with the organization of schools in the State, it has been deemed specially desirable that Mr Bush be retained, for the present, on duty as per Specl Orders No 29 - copy enclosed.

It is hoped that this may meet the approval of the Commissioner.
