Respectfully returned, when Freedman commit offences they should be given the same trial as a white man in similar cases, when Civil Courts try freedmen it is not the policy of the Bureau to interfere unless it is apparent the Court does not recognize his rights before the law and deal justly and fairly with him. Where flagrant injustice is being done them it is your duty to interfere, And in all cases where charged with Offences and being tried See to it that his trial is a fair one,

Do everything in your power to compel the Negro to work without resorting to physical punishment. It is of the greatest importance that they keep their Contracts and Circular No 14 will be your guide in general for you, enforce it strictly,

Do not have anything to do with divorcing freedmen. You have no authority to act in such cases.
