The position of Asst Supidt.

The above position is a very humiliating one for an Officer to occupy in this Sub Dist. without any authority, or protection whatever. the magistrates and citizens, entirely ignoring the existence of such a position. I am not aware of what advantage or benefit, it is to the Freedmen, as it now exists. unless armed with authority, and bayonets to support it.

I am Gen.
Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Servant.

D. Jerome Connolly.
Brvt Capt. U.S. Vols.
Asst Supidt. In Charge of
Nottoway and Lunenburg, Co's
Va.
