About nine tenths of these destitute people are women & children. The men are either very old or sick in hospitals. The Contract system is working well. In company with Genl. Sewall, I have just visited several farms in Edgecomb Co. and the testimony of farmers was that freedmen never worked better or behaved so well. There can be no doubt that confidence is increasing between the parties The small pox is abating both at Greensboro & New Bern. | | | New Bern Sub Dist. | Lt. McKillip Asst.
