Bureau Refugees Freedmen & A.L
Sub District Charles City Co. Va.
Wilsons Landing Va. Sept 30th 1866

General
In compliance with Circular No 6 C.S. from H'd Q'rs Asst Com'r State of Virginia I have the honor to report that during the past month no disturbance or difficulty has occurred between the Whites & Freedmen in the Sub District. Everything is working harmoniously between the two races. I find great opposition manifested by the Whites to the education of Colored children & to the establishment of Schools for their benefit. This feeling is general and I think it will be a long time before it is eradicated. The supply and demand for labor is about equal, a larger number of laborers could be employed to advantage but the crops of every kind is so short that Farmers have not the means to pay a great number 
Very respectfully
Your obt Servt
