Major
In compliance with your communication of the 1st inst, I forward, herewith, a list of murders, murderous assaults and outrages upon Freedmen, committed since January 1, 1866, that have been brought to my knowledge.

There have been many assaults, that I have not mentioned, for the reason, that I have not the names of the parties, nor the date of the assaults, as very many go before the city courts here that I hear nothing of.

I have the honor to be
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
