General:
In compliance with Circular No 17 Bureau of Refugees Freedmen & Abd Lands, Head Qrs Asst Commr District of Virginia Richmond Va dated December 20th 1867 I have the honor to report that I have visited the school at Fredericksburg (the only one in my Division) three times during the past two months and find it in good condition. The school is in charge of two white teachers and supported by the parents of the children and a northern aid society. The building is not well adapted for school purposes but is the only one that can be secured for that purpose.
Very Respectfully Your Obd Servt
