| April 13" | Eastern District | Capt. Seely Supt. |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Col Cilley reports that the feeling between the two classes is not changed for the better. If there is any change in it for the worse Quite a number of negroes who have made fair contracts are reported as having violated them. Crime is less frequent among the freedmen.

Capt. Seely reports, "the Small Pox is abating." Demand for labor increasing and freedmen seem willing to work.

The cases of violence and outrage have been reported, and referred to the mil. Com. now organized. |
