Col
I have the honor to transmit herewith my weekly report. Nothing of importance to Communicate. No particular change of affairs Since my last report. My time is principally consumed in advising how and when to make contracts for the coming Year I am using my every effort to induct them to make their contracts as Speedially as possible.  And I think there are now Being made Contracts pretty Generally throughout the entire Dist. I find Some trouble in Settling Contracts But as a General thing my Descision is Satisfactory the Question is daily asked me what provisions are made for the indigent Colored people I inform them that every County must care and provide for their own poore. the Civil agents of this town Contend the Freedmen Bureau cares and provides for Such cases please inform me whether there is any provision made for them By the Bureau or not 

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
