"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."

My business for the month has been chiefly in arranging disputed contracts, making some old settlements, and giving them advice. My office hours are from 9 A.M. till 4 P.M. I have not been absent from my Office this month.

"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."

There are no troops stationed at this post. There is no necessity for their presence, but unless an agent of the Bureau was present or some officer with authority the freed people would not get justice in the civil courts, it is only with servility that the law is administered.
