Macon Station Hale Co May 4th 1869 Mr. Edwin Beecher Montg Ala [[stamp]] THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF THE UNITED STATES [[/stamp]] Sir I herewith send you my report for the month of April, and also the vouchers for rent, signed in duplicate by S. J. McRae; the owner of the building I occupy as school house. I wrote to the County Sup't for the necessary instructions, to enable me to fill the report properly; and he wrote back saying, that I answer the questions to the best of my ability; as there was things in those reports that he was not able to answer; he left the matter entirely to my self; with instructions to forward it on to you, without referring it to him. As it is the first time I ever did any thing of the kind I expect I have made some mistakes if this is the case please do let me know and I will avoid them in future Respectfully Patrick Dalton P.S. please do send me blanks for the ensuing month, with what instruction you see necessary P.D.
