Genl. &

I have the honor to report that everything in connextion with "Bureau" affairs is progressing very well in my sub=dist., there are no breaking of contracts and very few disturbances of any kind; I have been compelled to threaten a few loafers with arrest if they did not find some employment and it had a very good effect. 
Very Respectfully
Your obt. Servt.

1st Lieut. Asst. Supt. 

Transcription Notes:
Corrected York Woodward's middle initial to "A" from "O". Confirmed by multiple sources. The town is Estillville--i transcribed it as spelled incorrectly in the original ----------
