"Report the disposition and feeling of the white people towards the freed people as expressed by words and actions."

The disposition & feeling of the white people towards the freed people is generally good in Houston & Leon Counties, but their is indication sufficient, that owing to the withdrawal of the U.S. Troops out of the interior, this good feeling will soon change for the worst.

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."

As previously reported but I have the honor to state that there is a good deal [[less?]] feeling on the part of the freed people as to the interests of their education, and the great want of funds to sustain private school. 

All private schools in Leon County have discontinued, I shall make an effort to establish them again.
