Dear Sir,
At my first and earliest opportunity, I consulted the Court, (which met yesterday) and am now prepared, and do answer your several inquiries as follows to wit:

I. We will undertake to provide for the maintainance or assistance of destitute colored persons having a settlement in this county, in the same manner, as is provided, for destitute white persons.

II. I cannot say to what extent such maintainance or assistance may be required, but we propose to provide or assist all needing provision or assistance
