Bureau of R. F. & A. L.
Richmond, Va. June 23rd, 1869.

Respectfully returned to Bvt Major Genl: O.O. Howard, USA Commissioner

Since the enclosed papers were referred to the Sup’t of Ed, April 30th, 1869, he has visited Lynchburg and finds the following facts;-

1st the Military officer in command at Camp Schofield, Lynchburg has no use for but one of the buildings, and desires the removal of the other two.

2nd A responsible board of colored Trustees has been formed, and the two remaining buildings will be necessary for the construction of the school-house, with fences and outbuildings.

The Supt. of Ed would therefore recommend that, one building be turned over to the military, and the remaining two buildings to the aforesaid Board of Trustees, and that all be dropped from the returns.
