Col Buckly [[Buckley]],
Col I have the honor to forward report of school for March. 
I have been teaching now nearly three months & I now make my first formal report. The pupils are increasing every day and I will soon have to close my list. I do not understand the interrogatories at the bottom of the report as referring to my school, hence I leave them to your filling up, or discretion. I'd be glad to have instructions [[strikethrough]] more [[/strikethrough]] fully from you and also to have an inspector to come and see me and the school & set me right if wrong on any point.
I wish to make the school a good institution and a lasting one-
