Bureau of R.F. & A.L.
Office of Supt. of Education,
Raleigh, N.C.  July 31, 1868.

Respectfully returned to Col. J.F. Chur, A.A.A. Genl.
As the Bureau has aided in the erection of one school-building at Chapel-Hill, and as the enterprise to which this petition refers would draw too largely upon our fund, I respectfully recommend that the petition be not granted.
