Respectfully returned to Hd. Qrs. Asst. Com.

There is not one word of truth in these reports.  The Freedmen at Bermuda Hundred are mostly at work for the Supt of this Dist. cutting wood from the old buildings.  There are more depredations committed by the whites there on Govt. property, than by the black on their property
