Colonel.
I have the honor to transmit herewith Report as called for in Special Order No. 12 Head Quarters,
This Report is necessarily very incomplete as the delay in procuring the necessary Assistant in the District already reported to your office, precludes the possibility of obtaining information from throughout the District

The Report is based however upon conversation with the Planters and personal observation so far as I have traveled in the District.

Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Servt.
Stuart Barnes
Capt & A.Q.M
Supt Dist of the Nottoway
