"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." 

Have had little to do this month. No murders or assaults. Have been collecting old accounts for services during 1866 and 1867. The law allows a man a small fortune exempt from seizure. Heretofore I have not regarded state law on that point, but compelled a man to pay his freedmen, without regard to exemption, bank replevy transfer or sale to other parties. I have seized and sold at public Auction property, cotton, mules, leather or anything I could find to satisfy a just claim

"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."

I have no troops. Our bottoms and highways are infested by highwaymen and murderers. I am confined to the limits of Clarksville as my life would not be worth anything three miles from town unless accompanied by an escort.
