[[strikethrough]] Sir
I am instructed by Gen'l Howard to reply to your letter of the 20th inst. that the promise of and in building a school house in Washington N.C, was withdrawn some months ago, the funds having been all expended, Dr Vogell was informed and should have informed the parties concerned. No further and to schools can be given by this Bureau, I trust you will be able to help yourselves.
