Sir,
Enclosed I have the honor to forward (by request of Mr Miller) a Transcript of the decree relating to the purchase of the ground for church purposes, one half of which is to be given for the benefit of the Freedmen school at this place,
Should this be sufficient to influence the Asst. Commissioner to make all of allowance for the election of a school house, the deed from the church trustees to those of the school can be made and secured on very short notice
I remain 
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Serv
A E. Habricht
agent
