Warsaw Richmond Co Va
Sept. 30th 1866

Brvt Brig. Genl O. Brown
Richmond City Va

General:
I have the honor in compliance with Circular No 6 Hd Qurs. Ass't. Com'r. State of Va., and dated January 29th 1866, to make the following report.

There is a strong feeling still existing against the colored people in my Sub. Dist by the whites. I think the Bureau very necessary. There have been several cases of disturbances during this month upon which I am looking for proof. It is useless to commence action until I find out positive proof.

Very Respectfully,
Your Obd't Serv't
Heny K. W. Ayres
2nd Lieut VRC & Asst Supt 6th Dist Va
