Message Abstract States that she mailed yesterday all their school reports for the month of March with the exception of two, which she will soon send.
Message Body Dear Sir. Yesterday evening I mailed you the monthly reports of colored schools under the Delaware Association, for the month of March. No. 24, Slaughter Neck is not with them. In the package for February No. 27. Lea's Chapel or Fieldsboro, is absent. This omission has been caused by the severe illness of teachers who were at those points. I will be able however to send them to you in a few days, that you may have a full complement at your office, when the rental account is in requisition.
