Madam

Your communication of the 5" inst enclosing copy of an indenture of apprenticeship binding one "Sally Capers" to your husband under the laws of Georgia and asking that the same be approved by the Asst Commissioner, is received.  In reply I have to say that approval at this office is unnecessary, the matter of apprenticeship being now governed entirely by the Civil law, this particular case must be settled under the laws of Georgia and Alabama jointly.  I enclose herewith for your information copy of Sec 7 and 8 of the Apprentice Act of Alabama approved Feb 23" '66.  The law of Georgia is probably very similar to it, and your proper course is to confer with the "Probate Judge" or "Ordinary" of the County where the child was apprenticed and ascertain the law that you may act under it.

The recommendations of the Board with the exception of the discharge of Messrs Arthur and Gardner have been approved and carried into effect.  Col Arthur is now engaged as Special Agent in the purchase of the new supply of corn and bacon and Mr Gardner has been temporarily assigned to the charge of the Station at Greenville, both these assignments having been made since the report of the Board.
