The issue of Rations to Aged and Destitute has neither increased or decreased during the past month and I believe it will be necessary to issue the same amount during the year.

There are now two Schools in these Counties, but a teacher for the Meherin School has not yet reported but is expected soon. The want of more schools is felt very much, and if the Freedmen were assisted by the Bureau or some Society, they would build additional Schools throughout the Counties. They evince an interest and a disposition in the education of their children highly creditable.

I am Capt.
