General:
I have the honor to make the following report of the conditions of Bureau Affairs in this Sub-Dist.: 

There is no change in affairs since my last and nothing of interest to report: there has been no trouble between the whites and Freedmen brought to my notice since last report, although the bitter feeling still exists between them to a great extent.

The Registry of Marriages which is being taken over again is progressing rapidly as is all matters connected with the Bureau.

I am, General,
Very Respectfully, Your obt. servt.
Watson R. Wentworth
2nd Lieut. V.R.C. & Asst. Supt.
