Referring to my report, dated Aug 31/67, in compliance with C.O. No. 16 C.S. Hd. Qrs Asst Comr. I have the honor to report further that I attended Sept. court in Highland County and made enquiry as to ability and disposition of the authorities to support pauper Freedpeople, in that county. The Comm'lth Atty. for the court, informed me that the same provision is and will be made for indigent white and colored persons within the limits of Highland County. There is more distress among White than Colored people.
