To the Senate and House of Representatives:

Herewith are transmitted several communications from the Rev. Thomas H. Gallaudet Principal of the American Asylum for the Education for the Deaf and Dumb.

By referring to the Resolve entitled Resolve for the assistance of the Deaf and Dumb passed the twenty second day of February one thousand eight hundred and twenty five it will be found that the annual after appropriation for the education of Deaf and Dumb belonging to this State, will expire on the twenty second day of February next. And it is also the fact that the actual expenditure has nearly exhausted the fund appropriated. It is submitted to the consideration of the Legislature whether a further appropriation may not be expedient. The Rev. Mr Gallaudet is now in Portland accompanied by some of his pupils, and is, as I am informed prepared to communicate personally such information as may enable any Committee you may appoint to judge of the cause and effects of instruction in relation to the objects of public bounty provided in the Resolve to which I have referred. Council Chamber Enoch Lincoln Portland January 21. 1829.
