Asst Comr Bureau R.F & A.L.
State of Georgia,

General:

I have the honor to report that there are, at present, six schools for colored children in my Division, consisting of the Counties of Appling, Pierce, & Ware, Georgia.

There is however, considerable intent manifested, in regard to the matter, by both the white & colored people in the Counties of Pierce & Ware, & in the latter County I hope soon to have a school open at Tebeauville. 

In my opinion a white male teacher would be preferable for that place.

In Appling County, I do not think there are a sufficient number of colored people, together in any one place to support a school. 

I am general
Very Respectfully Your obt serv't
Wm Royal
Agent Bureau R.F & A.L.
