Bureau of Refugees Freedman and A.L. Hd Qrs A.S.A.C. 2nd Div - 2nd Sub Dist Waverly Sussex Co Va, May 31st 1867 Brv't Brig Genl O Brown Asst Comr B of R F and A.L. Richmond Virginia General I have the honor to report that the state of feeling existing between the whites and blacks is still quite bitter but I think it is gradually growing better as a portion of the whites are more friendly toward the blacks than formerly which I think is owing to their having the right of sufferage. The negroes are in almost every case working very faithfully and the farmers are getting along prosperously with their corps. And intemperance is almost a total stranger to the blacks in my counties. I am General Very Respectfully Your obedient servant J.F. Wilcox Capt V.R.C. and A.S.A.C.
