The Freedmens Bureau while warmly sympathizing with you in your benevolent plans for furnishing employment to destitute Freedmen, can do nothing further than this.- I would suggest however that some [[strikethrough]] that some [[/strikethrough]] arrangement could be made at the north by which the parties who hire these Freedman should pay their expenses on and deduct same from their wages.- I am, Sir, with great respect.
