Office Superintendent 2d District
Petersburg, Va. Oct. 23d 1865.
Col. O. Brown
Asst. Comr &c
Richmond Va

Colonel:
I have the honor to report that contrary to my expectations, I shall be unable to forward my report of Destitute Freedmen with record of their former home, on this date. The withdrawal of the cavalry detail in several of the counties have rendered the delay unavoidable. Every exertion is now being made to complete this report which will be forwarded at the earliest possible moment
