Captain:
I have the honor to request information as to whether a favorable action is probable on report of schools made from this Office under date of August 18th 1866
The freedpeople are making preparations to build and wish to know whether the "Bureau" can give them any assistance, it is essential that they receive the information as soon as possible. 
With the assistance recommended they will be able to erect a [[underline]]good[[/underline]] building, without the assistance it will be poorly done and have them in an embarrassed position. 
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
Geo F. Cook
