I have issued orders regulating the shipment of Cotton, and have directed the Receiving and Disbursing Officer of the Bureau to send an agent to the "Bend" to make collection of rents. A Copy of those orders is enclosed.

One School has been opened and is self supporting: a colored teacher has charge of it. The Sub Commissioner reports that it gives satisfaction.

I am, General
Very Respectfully
Your obedient Servant,
Th: J. Wood,
Major Genl. Vols Com'd'g. Assist. Commissioner
State of Miss.
