And the educational or religious interest properly attended to we think our labors by the blessing of God will not be in vain. The cotton crop will be light from what we can learn will amount old and new to Bales
other crops generally good, There will be no lack of subsistence in the state and ought not to be much suffering among the Freedmen and if justice and if justice is done to the producers there will be no trouble that cannot be overcome by appropriate measures.

Sir,

Your communication of Oct 31st 65 came to hand this morning. Contents noted, was glad to learn that your business matters were progressing so satisfactory. In regard to the case of Garnett your attention is called to Par. 8, Circular No. 15, War Dept. B.R. &c dated Sept. 12th, 1865 which probably covers the case with the evidence you have. In the course of a few days we will probably be able to send you some stationary and may be some school books.

I am Sir,
Very Respectfully,
Your Obedt Servt
