New Orleans, Oct 20th, 1864.

B. Rush Plumley Eg
Chairman Board Education

Mr. McCall a thoroughly loyal man, Complains that you have located a school upon his plantation & that it is a serious detriment to him.

You will at once report whether or not other locations in the vicinity the property of disloyal men or abandoned cannot be used for this purpose

As far as practicable the burden of these schools should be cast upon the disloyal portion of our citizens.

An early reply is requested
