Asst. Commissioner
State of Virginia

Col.
In compliance with Circular No. 6. Head Qrs Asst Commissioner bureau of R.F. & A.L. dated January 29, 1866. I have the honor to report that the "Condition of Bureau Affairs" in my Sub-District are very good.

As to "the state of feeling existing between the Whites & Blacks" I have to say as a rule thy have no good feelings for each other. The whites appear to realy hate the Freedmen for instance-William Armstrong President of the board of Overseers of the Poor for Stafford County Va. when asked in case the United States ceased to issue Ration to the poor
