Respectfully reports, an informal inspection of the Richmond Alms House for colored people.  That he was received with courtesy, and given every opportunity to assure himself of the condition of the inmates.  Found all neat, and comfortable, and the inmates contented.  Learning that there is space for twenty (20) additional beds - and that there are that number of proper inmates at Howard Grove Hospital,- has directed Dr Brower to furnish bedsteads, beds and bedding, and transfer enough patients to occupy them - and keep all vacancies filled. Reports all with the twenty (20) above noted, ninety two (92) in Alms House.
