74 282. 25/161 June 26 9 James N. Pattison Dear Sir: The only way in which I can know anything about schools at a distance - I mean anything which will be satisfactory to me - is to receive letters and reports from the teachers in their own hand-writing. If the teacher at "The Marsh" wants anything let him write for himself, with own hand, stating all the facts that I should wish to know. I make the same remark in regard to teachers at Pleasant Hill, Rural Retreat, Cripple Creek &c. This is necessary in order that I distinctly know whom I am dealing with, their qualifications &c. At the same time I thank you heartily for all your interest and efforts in behalf of scholars. Yours Truly R.M. Manly Supt. Education
