I find no schools established here at all but if 11 teachers could be sent here I will have a place for them as soon as they come as I can use the colored church for that purpose.

The Medical Department is very well provided for and the care of the sick is good.  I have a great many complaints against colored persons for improper use of fire areas.  I shall take all arms and retain them until such time as I can turn them over to Capt Flagg.  I do not think it would be well to have them returned to them again as they don't hesitate to use them at any time.

I am now occupying the office of Dr John J. Wise the old one was a mile away from town and very inconvenient for business Dr. Wise has made application for its restoration but I would state it is very much needed for the use of the Bureau and I would most respectfully request it be retained for the use of the Bureau.

I will try and report more fully next month.
