Bureau R. F. and A. Lands
Hd Quars 6th Sub-Dist of va. 
Fredericksburg. Va. June 9 68.

Respectfully forwarded to Gen’l O Brown. Asst Commissioner for his information. 
Threats and intimidations -in order to prevent a free expression at the Ballot box upon the vote to be take upon the new Constitution-appears to be the means that is to be used to defeat said constitution. Unless stringent orders are issued by the Dist Commander to prevent this a large number of freedmen will be deterred from attending the polls on the day of election. The Bureau will be of little account in its attempts to remedy the complaint unless backed by further stringent orders from District Head Quars.
