"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."

During the month I have entered on my docket seven cases of assault, and Ten cases for services rendered &c which were disposed of as shown under the headings  When a complaint is made the parties are summoned to appear on a given day; The evidence is heard and judgement given accordingly. When parties fail to obey a summons, a warrant is placed in the Sheriffs hand for their arrest = My office hours are from 8 A.M. till 12, and from 1 till 5 P.M = I have not been absent from my office during 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 twenty men stationed here, and there presence is necessary to protect the freedpeople; To do justice to the freedpeople throughout the district, a hundred men should be stationed here, a part of them mounted; My Report of July 21st will show the necessity of more troops at this place

The civil authorities will not do justice; Most of the Officers will do right, but the juries will not, and as they are resorted to always, there is no hope for the freedmen before them.
