Sir:
I have the honor to transmit herewith the following statement in relation to funds for educational purposes.

By an act of Congress passed in 1803, every sixteenth section for the benefit of education, in the township in which they severally lay, had been appropriated 

Columbus is located on such a section, & leased out for ninety nine years, according to a law of the state. This lease only amounts to two thousand and six hundred dollars ($2600.00) pr year, & is all expended by the trustees of the township for the support of a school, to which colored children are not admitted. This amount should have been paid in August, there is however about eight hundred dollars ($800.00) of this amount still in the Treasr. This  information I have received within the past few days. I therefore respt. forward you this statement, to take whatever action you may think proper in the matter.

Very Respt
Your Obdt Servt
