The case of the girl Emeline Grosbeck has been investigated by the Sub asst. Commissioner at Austin, and it is not deemed advisable to send her to her parents. She is well fed and clothed, instructed in reading and other studies and in every respect as well treated as her best friends could desire.
She does not desire to leave Mrs Phillips, on the contrary she strongly objects to be sent to her mother.
If money has been advanced to pay her fare to Houston, I suppose it is in the hands of Lieut. Kirkman who is not now connected with this office.
He has been ordered to his Regt. and will probably join in at Brownsville, Texas in the course of a month.
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Sert.
