Respectfully returned to Bvt Brig Gen'l O.L. Shepherd Asst Commissioner Montgomery Ala. with the information that a building for Freedmen's School is greatly needed at this place and that one can not be erected without aid from abroad. The deed conveying an acre of ground referred to the enclosed letter is imperfect. Have called the attention of the trustees to the fact and have delayed the return of these papers some days in the hope that it would be perfected.
So soon as a lawful conveyance is executed I shall recommend that the Bureau aid in the erection of a suitable building
