Report of Bureau Affairs.

January 1866

Sub. Dist. D.
H. 82. R.F & A.L. Va. 1866

Says the offices of the poor have been notified that they must provide for their own poor - but as no taxes are levied they have not the means. Speaks in a highly gratifying manner of the "Schools". Says the feeling of the citizens is changing for the better for them. Says the arrival of a physician has created a perceptible change in the condition and feeling of the freedmen. Says that the freedmen are insisting upon their contracts being made at the Asst Supts Office — but as they require a great many stipulations, he has not sufficient clerk hire to enable him to do the work — which accounts for the small number of "Contracts Made."
