Sir 
I have the honor to make the following report of Freedmen's affairs in the County of Mecklenburg Va, for the month of November 1866.

They Freedmen are working industriously and are living contented and happy, harmony and good feelings seem to exist between the White and Colored people of this County. 

Their appears no opposition on the part of the Whites to the education of the Colored people.

Their is not one regularly organised School for Colored Children in this County. I respectfully reccommend that some efforts be made to send some School Teachers to this County.

Many of they Freedmen are making contracts
