| June 5th 1867 #171 * | Tennessee W.P. Carlin Gen'l See Q#43 Vol10. | Nashville June 1st 1867 Returns letter of Genl Howard of May 15" 1867 stating that he has learned that the ladies of the Memphis Colored Orphan Asylum occupy the house and have placed the children out in shanties which are entirely unsuitable. Desires the matter brought before Mrs Canfield. With report of Lr. Col. Fred S. Palmer S.A.C. It would seem that the evil complained of does exist that it can only be remedied by building a new Asylum, or by abolishing the present Asylum and indenturing the children to responsible people. If it were not for the encouragement given to Mrs Canfield would recommend the latter course. supposes the best way of disposing of the matter is to build the Asylum promised, and then leave it to the Episcopal Church which in opinion of the Asst. Comr. will fail to support it, and compel the indenturing of the Children finally. and the Asylum be used for a school &c. file. |
