For your information I will respectfully state that the section of country in Milam county, lying between Cameron & Williamson County. I seldom visit from the fact that it is far removed from Sterling, but few freedmen reside there, small interests are at stake, & my presence in that section is attended with a personal risk which I do not unnecessarily assume. The freedmen, no doubt, are frequently imposed upon by designing persons in the more distant and unfrequented portions of my Sub District- by the report being circulated that the Bureau has been done away. All complaints from Freedmen from all portions of my Sub District are duly attended to by me to the best of my ability.

I am, sir, most respectfully
Your obedient servant
J.L. Randall
Sub. Asst. Com'r
