General
This report exhibits a full statement, of the financial transactions of this office. the Period embraced herein. The expenditures have been much longer than the preceding year, owing mainly to the purchase of provisions for the destitute of Alabama. Many additional schools have been opened and operated during the year, which have also swelled the amount 

Our receipts from sources, other than from the appropriations of Congress have not met the expectations entertained as the date of the last report. There are questions now being agitated which, if decided on we believe ought to be, will procure a reasonable amount for the use of the Bureau

Very Respectfully
Edwin Beecher.
