Respectfully returned to R D Harper Supt Education with the following remarks.
Mr. C W Buckley late Supt Education engaged Mr Kennedy in the early part of 1867 to teach colored school at Clayton Ala. for $50.00 per month.
On the 12th day of Aug 1867 Mr Kennedy received notice from Mr Buckley that aid from the Bureau had ceased and that he would have to make his school self supporting. I therefore consider Mr Kennedy's claim just and respectfully recommend its payment
