I think there is no doubt that the entire col'd vote will be united on the Republican candidates, but I am of the opinion that it cannot be upon the Constitution. All is being done that can be to forward the educational interests of the freedmen. There are now five schools (day) in operation in different sections of the County They are well attended and much interests manifested. There are also several night and sabbath schools which are well attended.

I hear of no suffering through the County. The most are laboring faithfully to make a livelihood.

Very Respectfully,
Your obt servt,
Ira Ayer Jr
ASA Comr.
