III.  The same rules of action will be observed by us in regard to the colored paupers as the whites.
I have ascertained from the County that no Poll Tax has been levied or assessed on the freedman for County purposes, I presume those owning real estate will be, or has been assessed with the same Tax as white persons. I am not advised whether or not they have been assessed with a tax on personal property. The amount of real estate held by such persons in this County is quite small, and the same remark would be equally true, as it regards personal property.

Very Respectfully
Robert M Woolwine
President of O.P.
