To the Local School Inspectorate Oeffingen
To the Most Honourable Grand Ducal School Inspectorate, Neuenburg
In response to Your Highly Esteemed Authority's letter of the 1st of the current month, to hold a school board meeting as soon as possible, indeed on a school day, concerning the matter of school absences, it was announced in church on the 10th of this month that the meeting would be held on the 12th at half past nine in the morning in the schoolhouse, and since a meeting was held on the 11th for this reason, notice was given in the meeting of the meeting to be held on the 12th;
The undersigned waited from half past nine until half past ten, and only one member, Joh. Mayer, appeared.
It is therefore reported to Your Esteemed Authority that no further meeting in the above matter will now take place; and in case Your Esteemed Authority should kindly address me at greater length now concerning the school matter. If anything is to happen, an inquiry must be sent to the local office.
No. 210
Oeffingen, 13 November 1846.
