The number of fines

No orphants or abandoned Minors of Freedmen have been apprenticed, by me during the month

The number of schools, scholars and Teachers in this county, not known, the small Pox, has caused the breaking up of several schools

The state of feeling on the part of citizens towards Freedmen, with few exceptions, favourable

The Bureau is not by any means a favorite Institution with the people but is less objected to, as its opperations are being better understood
