General
I have the honor to report that the state of feeling existing between the White People and Freedmen of this sub Dist. is very good. There are no Freedmen loafing about having all gone to work, and have generally kept clear of those who did not pay for last year. The People of both classes desire to have the Officer of the Bureau explain and approve the Contracts, and most of my time is occupied in so doing.

I am Genl
Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Servant
