Board of Managers, for the use of all the schools of the Commission in both Departments. This form, or some modification of it, will be agreed upon between Genl Howard and myself, for the use of all teachers, reporting to the Agents of either authority; and thus duplicate reports will be easily made, and consolidated tables can be constructed with ease. It is with slight modifications and the addition of the IV Section for the convenience of teachers who must also be booksellers, the form furnished me by Dr Warren (for whose judgment I have the highest respect,) and by him recommended to Gen Howard.

I shall be profoundly grateful if you will, in any event, furnish me monthly a duplicate of your report to Genl Swayne, showing the precise condition of educational affairs in your District, and will supplement such statistics by full account of the progress of events educational, social, and political.

This office is already besieged, and will soon be overwhelmed with enquiries which must be imperfectly answered, until we can "establish communication with the interior". 

Very Cordially Your's
J R Shipherd Sec'y.
