Sir,

The applications of yourself and others, as Trustees, for the Log Houses at Yorktown and Fort Magruder, were forwarded to the the Bvt. Maj. Gen'l. Commissioner - and have been returned by endorsement dated June 24th, 1869 stating that "until satisfactory evidence is furnished by copies of deeds, that the parties own the land and hold the same, as Trustees for school purposes, it is impossible to turn these buildings over to them."

Whenever the evidence required by the Commissioner is furnished we shall be pleased to take further steps in the matter.

Yours Respy
R.M. Manly 
Supt. of Ed
