Supt Friends' Schools.

States that while purchasing the Govt Barracks used for school purposes there for $500.00., he is deprived of one building, and one room in another, by Colonel Corse, Supt of the Freedmens Bureau, who uses them as a Physician's office & quarters.

States that this action of Col. Corse is contrary to the plan forwarded by himself to Genl Schofield, on which the purchase was made, and defeats the object of the purchase.
