General,
In compliance with the provisions of Cir No "6" dated Hd Qrs Asst Comr. Bur of R. F. & A. L., Richmond Va Jany 29th 1866, I have the honor to report that a very friendly feeling has existed between the Whites & Freedmen during the month of January 1867. The Freedmen have generally gone to work for those who employed them during 1866. Those who have had disputes in relation to division of crops &c have generally referred the matter to me for decision & submitted to such decision without appeal to other authority

Very respectfully
Your Obt Servt
