General
I have the honor to report that the state of feeling between the White People and Freedmen of this Sub Dist continues to be about the same as heretofore reported. Large numbers of Freedmen have complained to me, that there Employers for the past year, now that the crop is made, refuse to make a settlement, in all of which cases, I have advised them the course to pursue, and in nearly all the cases they will get a judgement in there favor I think, as the Courts are quite fairly disposed toward them.
I am General
Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Servant
