We the colored people in the Dist near the Hague have according to you advice given us last Fall went on and have succeeded in erecting one church and school House, and have another in course of erection, and which will be completed early in the coming Summer.
All we want now is a teacher and Sabbath School Books, and if we could be furnished with common school books it would be of the greatest benefit to us in this our early and first attempt to educate ourselves.
