General,
I have the honor in compliance with Circular No 16 C.S. Hd. Qrs. Asst Com Va to report that there are no indigent colored persons in Surry or Sussex Counties supported by the Bureau. In Surry Co they have admitted all indigents to the Poor house for over one year and in Sussex Co through the efforts of Mr Mason Pres. of the Board of Overseers of the Poor all indigent colored, were kept from the benefits of the Poor house until the Magistrates at the July court compelled him to admit them and they are now received and provided for.
Very Respectfully
Your obedient servant
J.A. Wilcox

Military Com'r
