Asst Comr.
Bur. of R.F. and A.L.
State of Virginia
Sir
I compliance with instructions of Cir No 6 dated Hd Qrs Asst Comr. Bur of RF and AL Richmond Va Jan 29th 1866, I have the honor to report, that the State of feeling between the Whites and Freedmen in the Counties of Northumberland and Lancaster Va is steadily improving.  No cases of outrage on either side have occurred during the month of September.  The Freedmen are generally employed, and are some of them making very fine crops.  No suffering for food exists among them that I am aware of.
Very Respectfully
E.W. Busby
Lt and Asst Supt Freedmen &c
