Genl.
I have the honor to make the following report relative to affairs in general in the Sub. Dist. Comprising the Counties of Smyth Tazewell & Bland, for the month of August 1866.

I have visited each of the three Counties in my Sub Dist this month, and find the Freedmen generally well satisfied. I believe the affairs in general relative to the Freedmens Bureau, in my Sub Dist at the present time to be in quite a healthy condition.

I am Genl. Very Respectfully
B.E. Hess, Lieut V.R.C.
Asst. Supt. 8th Dist. Va.
