Captain
I have the honor to submit the required Monthly report of "Bureau affairs in general" for the month ending April 30th 1867

The general condition of the Freedmen in my Sub Dist is satisfactory with the single exception that the compensation paid for labor is not adequate for the support of the laborer being only an average $12 for males & $4 for females

There have been no cases of outrage upon Freedmen reported during the present month & so far there appears to be an entire willingness on the part of the civil authorities to do justice to this class of persons

[[right margin]] Manley [[/right margin]] X There is but one school in this Div of the 8th Dist Others are greatly needed and could be sustained if suitable teachers could be obtained X
