Head. Quarters Freedmens Bureau
Columbus Ga Dec 1, 1865

Genl.

Sir

You tell me to report abandoned property as required by circular 10. I have been looking around for such property and find none. There is now here seven government shanties almost worthless occupied by Freedmen. Also one building that had been occupied as a school room for Freedmen was torn down and destroyed by Negroes at the time of the difficulty between the Chaplain & myself. One of the seven shanties now standing is occupied as a school room

Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Servant
