Bureau of Refugees Freedmen & Abd. Lands
Office Asst. Supt. Sub-Dist of Stafford & King George
Fredericksburg Va November 30th 1866.

Brevt Brig Genl O. Brown
Richmond Va

General.

In compliance with Circular No. 6. Head Quarters Asst. Commissioner Bureau of Refugees Freedmen & Abd. Lands Richmond Va dated January 29. 1866, I have the honor to report that the affairs of the Bureau in my Sub-District are not in a very settled condition.

The feeling existing between the white and blacks is growing worse, occasioned by the desire of the whites to oppress the blacks.

The Freedmen are dealt harshly with by the civil authorities and the fact that they have rights before the law is in some cases entirely ignored

Very Respectfully
Your Obd Servt
Hector Sears
2nd. Lieut Vet Res Corps &
Asst Superintendent
