Contracts-

There has been no superintendent appointed for the county of Powell what few Freedmen are there have been to me there is not exceeding 25 in the county. Porrel [[strikethrough]] was originally part of Montgomery the entire county mountainous & but little bussiness requiring the attention of the Bureau. If you think proper to extend my jurisdiction to that county do so, as this place will be now convenient for the citizens and Freedmen to come than any other points, for the transaction of bussiness.

Respectfully & c
H.C. Howard
Supt & c
