Thibodaux 29 Oct 1864 To the Provost Marshal of Parish Lafourche Duplicate Sir - Having selected the buildings described below, for the use of the Colored Schools, I respectfully request that you will take possession of them, at your earliest convenience, so that the schools may be put into immediate operation. First, a small building on the plantation of V. Vicnair, about four miles above Thibodaux, on the left bank of Bayou Lafourche. It stands on the south side of the dwilling-house & near a land running from the road. Second, the buildings on the plantation about a mile below Thibodaux, called Arcadia, & claimed to belong to Maj. Nelson. Third, A building formerly used as a store-house, directly below the Railroad, when it crosses Bayou Lafourche, standing on the right bank. These buildings are all vacant or only in unimportant & partial use. Very respectfully Your Obt. Svt. Wm Fiske
