That your Petitioner gratefully acknowledges the obligations of the African School to the Members of your Honorable Assembly who have kindly and frequently visited the Institution, and have thereby greatly encouraged both the teachers and scholars; and your Petitioner respectfully solicits a repetition of such visits, that the rapid improvement of the children may be satisfactorily ascertained, and that it may be evinced that his statements are not overcharged, and that the continual, and praiseworthy, and successful exertions of the Master and Mistress are not in any degree accentuated.

Halifax March 1st 1841
