Their are no Schools for colored children in this county but steps have been taken by myself once they colored people to orgonise Schools at once.

A majority of the white people of this County regard the Freedmens Bureau as beneficial to the farmer as well as the laborer this is serving to the influence the officers of the Bureau have over the Freedmen which can be exercised for the benefit of the employer as well as the laborer.

All things taken into consideration I regard the Colored people of this county to be in a prosperous condition- they are industrious honest happy and contented.   

Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
