Respectfully returned to Hd. Qrs. Sub Dist of Ala. The child in question is now in custody of her grandmother and there will be no further objections made to her giving to her mother by those who have hitherto assumed charge of her. Mr. Branch the Supt of colored schools in this city is intending to go North shortly and will take the child with him. In accordance with Mr Branch's wish, I recommend that the child be furnished transportation to Chicago by the Bureau.

I believe both sections reference the same person but the last name is transcribed as is.
