War Department,
Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands,
Washington, June 7th 1871

Mr Albert Roy 
 
Sir:
I am instructed to reply to your letter at the 2nd inst. that this Bureau has no control of the Baptist church in Fredericksburg, and no record can be found of any agreement on the part of the Trustees or owners of said church to keep the building open for a free school. Possibly Mr R M. Manly of Richmond may have such a Bond in his possession.

Very Respectfully
E.W.
A.A.A.General
