"Give a statement of the official business transacted during the month; its nature and your method of disposing of the same. State your office hours; the number of days absent from office, if any, and reason for the same."

The Official Business transacted during the month has been very large, and of the same general character as reported for the preceding month. Settlement of difficulties; collection of debts; examination and approval of contracts, and settlement of last years accounts. I dispose of the same according to the provisions of the acts establishing the Bu. R., F. & A.L., without partiality, favor or affection; and where doubts arise not explained by said acts, or orders subsequent thereto, according to my conscience, the best of my understanding, and the custom of the service in like cases. Office hours from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. Absent from Office two days, on duty connected with Post of Houston.

"State the number of Troops at your Post and the necessity for the same; whether or not the freed people would be secure if they were removed; in other words will the civil authorities protect them and give them justice; &c., &c."

The number of troops at the Post is about the same as last month, and the same necessity exists for their presence. The freedpeople would not in my opinion be secure, and I doubt if they would get even handed justice from the Civil Authorities if the troops were removed.
