Sir:
I herewith enclose in return the communication of Miss McClintock and inform you that if a lot or a site for a school house can be secured at Talbot's Station, this Bureau will aid in the erection of a building thereon, provided the lot is permanently secured to trustees for the purposes of education of the Freedmen.

Please accept my thanks for your kindly efforts of assistance heretofore so cheerfully given.

Very respectfully
Your obedient servant
