The freed people are fully alive to the importance of education, the desire to have their children taught being general, and in almost every instance where circumstances permit, the parents send their children regularly to school.

The Bureau, through the superintendent of education, has materially assisted the progress of the work in this place by having given to the teacher a salary with which, in consequence of the poverty of the freedpeople, the teacher would have been necessitated to resign.

Still further pecuniary assistance would be attended with good results throughout the Country the freedpeople in County districts being unable to pay teachers.

Very Resp &c
