Rev J.W. Alvord
General Sup of Education
My Dear Sir:
In forwarding the accompanying statistical and general reports I beg you to accept a word of explanation. I am under orders to proceed North this P.M. on business connected with the Associations and the schools, and with the Normal School. I have been obliged to make out the reports now or leave them until near or quite the end of the month.
The statistical report would be imperfect however long I might wait because many teachers left without filling their June Reports. Using reports already recd from the Sub Dists. I have estimated the rest according to my best knowledge.
The General Report might have been better if I had had more time.
I beg your acceptance of these as embodying all the principal facts.
Very Respy
R.M. Manly
