D Sir
Enclosed herewith you have, a partial report of the condition of the unfortunate among the coloured population of this County, owing to the pressure of other duties I have not been able to give the matter that attention necessary to give a full & correct report.  If a longer time can be given I will give it further attention & report again - 
I would say that the case of the blind children herein reported is one that calls loudly for sympathy & assistance, five in one family blind from their birth.
