in Compliance with Circular No "6" Hd Qurs Asst Comr State of VA. I have the honor to submit the following report on the condition of Bureau affairs in this county.
Every thing connected with the Freedmen is moving on smoothly, there are but few idlers at the time, and complaints of any nature are rare, and there is evidently a disposition on the part of the whites to do what is right toward the Freedmen.

Yet they display a laudable desire to exercise the newly acquired privilege when the time arrives for them so to do
I can report no change in the matter of schools
