Sir:
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 20th inst requesting information relative to the total amount of money expended by this Bureau for educational purposes for the period of its operations in the State of Tennessee down to the present date.

In reply thereto I would inform you that all the records of the Bureau in Tennessee up to January 1st, 1869, have been forwarded to Washington D.C. I have however written to Bureau Head Quarters for such data as will enable this office to furnish you the figures desired and upon the same being received will be forwarded to you.

Very respectfully
Your obedient servant
