There are no Freedmens schools in this subdistrict.
I am in hopes to establish some as soon as the
Freedmen contract and things become stable again.
 
"Give a statement of the official business transacted during the month; its nature and our method of disposing of the same. State your office hours; the number of days absent from the office, if any, and reason for the same."

I have done little or no office business, referring complaints to the civil authorities. My office hours, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Absent from office 12 days, making settlements, and attending to the interests of the Freed People. 

"State the numbers 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."

I have six cavalry men at this place, but propose sending them to their command soon their services being unnecessary. Whether the civil authorities will give the freedmen justice will soon be determined. I have grave doubts of their doing so, however, I think lawyers fees etc. will balance their claims.
