Rev Manly 
Supt of Schools

Sir: In answer to your interrogations I would answer that I know the writer very slightly only. I know but little of the school spoken of. I know that they have a School. The Existence I have known for some time but of its merits I know but little. For the purpose of getting some information of the School about a month ago I addressed a note to the Teacher X rec'd in return the Enclosed reports. I was applied to for aid towards maintaining the School but at that time thought that I would not reccommend until I had seen the School itself. The writer I believe means well enough but I think lacks many of the qualities of a successful Teacher 

Very respectfully
J.F. Wilson
