Dear Sir

Your favor of 8th May enclosing blanks is at hand. I would like to have the same kind that you furnished at the first, unless you wish to have each of the teachers report directly to you. Something over 380 scholars have been enrolled - 50 of that number since the ladies arrived. We need one more assistant-now, but I fear I have called on you too heavily already. 

The Vouchers for my pay were received signed, and returned by first mail sometime since I wrote you for fifty more testaments. We need them very much Almost every day some of the colored people make inquiries in regard to the appropriation for a new school house, so I can do no better than apply to you for information
