130 will please ascertain if the children have been bound to Mr Halfkin, and if so when, and by what law. Report result to this office that action may be taken Very Respectfully, Your obd't Serv't O.D. Kinsman Sub. Asst. Comm'r. 257 Head Quarters District of Alabama Montgomery Ala. June 29" 67 Saxton Bvt Brig Genl R. Chf Q.M. 3d Milty Dist Atlanta Ga. General I have the honor to acknowledge receipt, by reference from yourself, of the letter of Col Gilbreth and Mr Edward Cope relative to the murder of a freedman by a resident of Eufaula. The case has been referred to the Agent of the Bureau at Eufaula who is directed to use every endeavor to bring the offender to justice Very Respectfully, Your obd't Servt Maj Genl and Asst. Comm'r. 258 Head Quarters District of Alabama Montgomery Ala. June 29" 67 112/131 Howard Maj Gen'l O.O. Commissioner Washington D.C. General With the view of increasing the efficiency of the Bureau in this State I have instituted inquiries through the Sub Asst Commissioners looking to the establishment of an Agent in each County excepting those already under the general charge of a Bureau officer. Already some eight or ten persons have been selected, and it is believed that a reliable man can be found for each Agency. There are now ten Bureau stations in the State, among which the sixty two counties composing it are apportioned. It is proposed to 131 pay not more than Fifty dollars ($50.00) per month; this to include rent of office, and the increased expense under this plan will therefor but little exceed thirty thousand dollars, while it will imminently increase the practical power of the Bureau. I should be glad of an early reply on this subject, and trust that I may be authorized to make these appointments. Very Respectfully, Your obd't Servt Maj Genl and Asst. Comm'r. 259 130/132 Howard Maj Genl O.O. Commissioner Washington DC. General I have the honor to enclose herewith the receipt for transportation orders 1086 to 1103 for teachers. The conditions under which such transportation was to be used have been fulfilled in each case except on the part of Mr C.H. and Mrs. E.D. Adams (Order No 1095), and Mr Wm. F. Wentworth (Order No 1098). In the first case the parties have been here but four months, but I would recommend that the transportation be furnished them, as through a misunderstanding, they were not furnished with transportation on coming here, and only learned on their arrival that they could not be reimbursed for their travel expenses. Transportation has been furnished Mr Wentworth, although he has been teaching but three months as his health is so much impaired that an immediate return to his home is essential to the preservation of his life. Order No 1095 will be retained until further instructions are received. Very Respectfully, Your obd't Servt Maj Genl and Ass't. Comm'r. 260 Head Quarters District of Alabama Montgomery Ala.
