[[preprinted]] Bureau Refugees, Freedmen & Abandoned Lands,
Headquarters 5th District of Virginia,
Alexandria, Va., ^[[Oct 19"]] 186^[[5.]] [[/preprinted]]

Chaplain,
Mr Dennis Seals, (Col'd) of Fairfax C.H. Va., is desirous of establishing [[insert]] a [[/insert]] School — colored — at that place, and seems to have no doubt as to its success. He appears like an active energetic man, and I think is capable of managing one with ability. He thinks that at least 50 children will apply at the opening. Any action upon this matter will be anxiously looked for.

Very Respectfully
Your obt Servt.
