Dear Sir
Your very satisfactory report of our Richmond schools came to hand this morning together with the individual reports of the teachers - it is very pleasant to hear such good accounts of them & I am glad to be able to think that our schools almost everywhere have improved proportionately since last year.

There are one or two little points in the reports to which I wish to call your attention, one of them being merely a mistake in making these out, with which several of the teachers have fallen.  I mean that of putting the answers to the questions in the same division with the latter, instead of placing these in the one specified for these in the blank.

The other points are that there are only very small classes in Geography
