Dear Sir:

Yours of the 12th is this morning Rec'd.  There is no power in my hands to do the slightest thing for the protection of teachers, or the punishment of a criminal.  I am not an officer, have not a soldier, and wield only a pen.  All power is with the civil authorities, and General Canby.  I can only refer your case to him.

If any act of violence or wrong us please give an immediate account which can be substantiated with proofs.

Yours Truly
R.M. Manly
Supt Education

The check for rent has been sent.  Whenever your school shall increase so as to make it worth the while to expend more upon it, write me the exact facts and ask for additional aid, reminding me of this promise.

Yours &c
