The number of inmates in the City poor House amount to 96 all of which are white. From Enquiries I learn from Mr. P Easer the Supt that there is accommodation still for 104 more. I would respectfully urge the necessity of some step being taken to place indigent colored people in this institution, and cause the Civil Authorities to make provision for their mentainance.

Very respectfully
