Office Asst. Supt. Education of Freedmen
and Refugees, First School Division, State of La.
New Orleans, Sept. 30, 1865.
Capt. H. R. Pease, 
General Superintendent, Education
of Freedmen and Refugees, State of Louisiana.
Captain:
I have the honor to report 
the following tabular statements in compliance
with your Circular No. 2, Paragraph 1.
They are chiefly compiled from the special
reports of the following agents, viz:
Mr Charles Meyers Director for Terrebonne Parish,
Mr Wm. Fiske, late director for LaFourche Parish,
Serg't Lewis B Dawson, late Director for Plaquemine Parish,
Mr Charles W. Griffeth, late Director for St. Bernard Parish, 
Dr B. W. Pease Director for St. Charles Parish
Mr David Pollock late Director for Jefferson Parish
The reports for LaFourche, St. Bernard 
and Plaquemine Parishes were very meagre and 
imperfect owing to the prostration of Messers 
Fiske, Griffeth and Dawson by Feber. And the 
others would have been more complete had not 
the canvassers been strangers in their respective Precincts, and their researches therefore sometimes baffled by the jealousy and taciturn hostility 
of many of the planters.
