In regard to the Certificate of Teachers and pupils, I have sent one to Washington, having made affidavit to its correctness. It was made up from the Returns of the local Bureau Officers, from their inspections of the school probably may not be identical with the teacher Reports to you. I have not compared the two. My certificate was as follows:

You can use the above if you wish. The teachers reports are not more reliable or accurate.
I hope you will obtain the needed aid.

Rev. B. Sears D.D.

Dear Sir:
I have the honor to forward you herewith Report of Schools aided by you through my agency from Sept to Dec inclusive. A few accounts are yet to be sent in and paid for Dec. I also send you by mail the corresping vouchers from the teachers. My report and corresponding vouchers show, as you will see, that I have disbursed Eleven Hundred and Nine and 89/100 Dollars ($1109.89), an excess of $109.89 above the amt. rec'd from you. A few bills are now waiting to be paid; I hope, therefore, at your earliest convenience to receive a remittance. The addition schools taken up for January will be as many as can be rec'd and altogether, will, I believe, more than make good my promise to keep 2000 (average attendance) in school.

I am Very Respy
Your Obt Sert.
R.M. Manly
