The Burial Corps moved from here on the 15th of the month  they have done Considerable of damage to that portion of the Building occupied by them  the annoyances that Mr Dixon refers to in his application for those Buildings are entirely removed the work shop and the houses have been torn down and Carried off by the Burial Corps  I do not see any necessity why those Houses should be turned over to Mr Dixon  If this should be done It will Cause a great deal of dissatisfaction amongst the Freed people who expect to purchase those Buildings for their own use  They are entirely oppose to have Mr Dixon have any control at all over those Houses
