Captain,

You will please report to me immediately the names of six or more white citizens residents of each County in your Sub-district who are men of the first respectability and who have the confidence of both the whites and the freedmen. Such men as both races would select the magistracy or any office of trust and responsibility. Select those who are not disfranchised by the laws of Congress, and if such men can be found other things being equal, prefer those who have been loyal during the war or at least conservative respecting secession. Give the political antecedents of each one named as far as possible. Also, please report the names of six of the most intelligent of the freedmen belonging to Each county, in whom both races have confidence and who have the most influence over their own people--also give the P.O. address of each person named. 

Yours Respectfully 
(Sgd.) O. Brown
