Office Asst Supt Sub Dis A
Harpers Ferry W Va Sept 30th 66

Sir
I have the honor to report no change in Bureau Affairs in this Sub Dist since last Report

Applications have been made for assistance to get into the County Poor House after the 1st Prox, by a few old colored people. The Comnrs' of the Poor look with some disfavor upon this accession, but no open objections have been made. The Freedmens Schools will be again started on the 1st Prox They are carried on by the Babtist. Home. Mission. Society, and as the Supt of these schools, (Mr Brackett.) is an able man, they are well conducted, and in their quiet way do more for the elevation & amelioration of these people than anything else All of which is respectfully submitted.

I am
Most Respfy
