Fort Inge, Oct 31, 1867

Lt. J.P.Richardson
A.A.A.G.

n the subject of education there have been no expression whatever for the reason that there are not sufficient number of freed children to form a school, consequently no steps have been taken in respect to education, and I am not aware that they (the freedpeople) are taking any steps in that direction. I do not think that their condition at present can be improved or that they require any assistance.

Very Resp. &
