am unable to judge of the fairness of them

There seems a disposition on the part of a very few of the Whites to assist the Bureau in its operations these are some of the most intelligent. among a large portion who are more ignorant and seem determined to remain so, there exists a great prejudice against the Bureau and its Officers and a disposition to obstruct its operations if not openly, at least indirectly. I think there is less of this than there has been formerly in the Sub District-

Owing to want of transportation I have been unable to visit other portions of the County which if I could have done I have no doubt I could have obtained much information as to the state of Bureau affairs of which I am now ignorant. I hope and expect if still on duty here that my next Report will complete as can be desired

I am very respectfully
Your obedient servant
