Col.
In compliance with Circular No 11 C.S. I have the honor to report the affairs of the Bureau R F & A L for the month of December as followed.

The Freedmen with very few exceptions are at work and doing very well. Those that have been farming the past season, and attended to their crops have done well, some of them making as high as four and six bales of cotton, and corn enough to supply their families the coming season! Their crops have turned out more than I was lead to suppose from the previous information received, although it has now been an average cotton crop. 

There has been but one complaint made to me by freedmen that injustice has been done, which I feel assured will be settled
