this letter describes one of the duties of the freedmens bureau. which of those duties does it describe?
investigating, or looking into, violence against freed people
bringing together african american families that had been separated by slavery
making sure employers treated freed people fairly
helping african american people start schools

Explanation:

The letter shows a Freedmen's Bureau agent intervening on behalf of a freedwoman who was not paid by her employer, demanding the employer settle her wages. This action ensures the employer treats the freed person fairly by upholding her right to payment for work done. The other options do not match: there is no mention of violence, family reunification, or school establishment.

Answer:

making sure employers treated freed people fairly
