General:
In compliance with Cir No. 6. C.S. I have the honor to report:  That Bureau Affairs are progressing very fairly in 2d Div 4th Sub Dist Va. That the conduct of the Freedmen has been good without exception. That they are generally industrious. The feelings and prejudices are about as heretofore reported.

I have tried to arrange Temperance Societies amongst the Freedmen but not with So much Success as I would like to report, Yet I have this to report that Drunkeness does not prevail amongst them to any alarming extent. It is true that too much of their wages is spent
