| | Eastern District | Capt. F. A. Seely Supt. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The order relieving the 14 [["30 & 39"?]] Colored troops removed six officers of the Eastern District, consequently the operations of the Bureau have been much retarded- The freedmen seem indisposed to make contracts until after the holidays. The Southern District shows a loss in the number of dependants - the same disposition in regard to making contracts prevails here as in the Eastern District. One planter however has secured hands for raising rice & has already commenced operations- This has been deemed impractical by planters, on acc of the change in the labor system. In the Central District contracts are being made, and a change for the better is manifesting itself- The Western District returns a larger number of freedmen employed by contract than all the others- The report of all the Supts. go to show that the freedmen are not at all inclined to make disturbance, and that the present inactivity is not the indication of a coming insurrection, but the waiting to see if there may not be some truth in the many stories they have heard of a something to be given them in the holidays-

Really not sure if I'm doing the "pipes" correctly. Double-check carefully. (This project is driving me insane.)
