Bureau of R. F and A.L. Pittsylvania, Co. Division Danville Va May 1st 1867 Capt. R.S. Lacey Agent Bureau of R F and A.L. Captain I have the honor to forward the following report for the Month ending April 30th 1867. During the past Month, I have called the attention of the Magistrates to thirty five cases of unpaid Freedmen in this District so far as heard from these cases have here tried and I believe fairly settled I have investigated a large number of claims myself and made out the accts for the freedmen who have presented them in person and collected the amts due them - a thing they could not have done previous to the passage of the "Military Bill" I think the people are begining to learn that "it is hard to kick against the pricks" The freedmen are generally all at work where kindly and Justly treated I hear no complaint whatever
