The number of pupils at Harrisonburg is not as large as I [[av reported?]] before starting the school, but I regard it as one of the most encouraging fields of labor in my district. 

The white people of Harrisonburg [[morup?]] a better spirit than in any other part of the valley. The number of pupils in the day school is seventy-two, average in evening school is sixty-three.

Front Royal has forty-one in day school and averages thirty-six in the evening. Martinsburg, & Shepherdstown remain about the same as last month.

Harpers Ferry has lost a little. Many of the colored people are moving away. We have withdrawn one teacher from Martinsburg, and one from Harpers Ferry and sent them to Charleston since the Holidays. 

We intend to offer a school at Woodstock as soon as a room can be furnished. We would also offer schools at Waynesboro and Brownsburg if we have suitable rooms for them. 

Very Resp.
N.C. Brackett.
