State Va} Richmond Va} General, I have the honor in Compliance with Circular No 6" dated B. R. F & A. L. Hd Qrs Asst Commr Va Richmond Va January 29th 1866- to report the Condition of Bureau Affairs in my Sub Dist for the month of November 1866- The feeling existing between the Freedmen & the Whites is not materially changed. Several cases have occurred during the month between the Freedmen & Farmers in reference to the division of crops which I have personally settled the parties as a general rule being willing to leave the matter to me for settlement. I have not thus far experienced the trouble that I had anticipated in reference to the settlement of contracts "on Shares"- From close observation I am led to believe that the system of cultivating land on shares at present is not so over

Reopened for Editing 2024-03-08 09:12:02 to correct some typos and to use "&" instead of "+" when the writer is using it as "and." We use "+" only when transcribing math.
Also, this writer drags his periods so that they look like dashes.
