No corporal punishment was inflicted, eight colored children orphans were bound to two white parties according to law, the children were brought into court after a notice having been served to their next of kin known in the county. I have received information from Caswell Co. that the court there had bound in a few cases children not orphans without the consent of their parents, and that such indentures would be declared null and void when the resp. parties should make their applications. I have witnessed one contract between a farmer and a Freedman.

March 29th 1867
In compl. with your order of the 23rd unit I have the honor to report, there has been a [[forms]] school in operation at this place since Septbr 1866 [[and]] reported monthly to the Supt. of Lt. B. K. F. LA I at [[Bal.]] another school was established at the C Hops and reported on the 15th mit. also to him. This new school can be kept also of the rent of the school house in [[paid]]. At different other places schools would be in operation if people had the means to support them as the only obstacle to these new schools is the [[?]] to raise the salary of a teacher here or the money to board one sent from abroad. [[There]] is the case at the so called [[Union]] Church about [[3]] miles from here, where a Sunday School is kept in a building granted them for that purpose, and where they wanted daily school in which about 90 children would participate. Another school would be in operation in the South part of Al. Co. with about the [[same]] [[number]] of [[pupils]]. One school was started in Carrell about 20 miles from here with 26 children, as I reported to the Supt. of Co. Sep. 22 1866, which school cannot exist [[without]] some aid. I should [[visit]] this school at the earliest opportunity.- A private school
