"Report the disposition and feeling of the white people towards the freed people as expressed by words and actions."
The feeling towards that class of the freedpeople who earn an honest labor is kind. The other class who shun labor and live by stealing stock etc. are bitterly hated.

EDUCATION.
"Report the feeling upon the subject of education; what steps have been taken to promote the same; what efforts the freed people are making in that direction and in what manner they may be assisted, &c &c"
The white people take but very little interest in the education of the freedpeople.
The freedpeople take almost none themselves or are at least unwilling, or unable, to support teachers. The two colored schools in this District, have, for this reason been discontinued since November 30, 1867 - as no teachers can be found.
