Asst Comr State of Va
General,
   In compliance with instructions contained in Cir No "6" dated Hd Qrs Asst Comr Bureau RF and AL, Richmond Va Jany 29th 1866 I  have the honor to report that the feeling existing between the Whites and Blacks of this Division, is not as friendly as it has been for the great part of the year.
   A feeling of antagonism, seems to be growing up between the races, that may lead to difficulty in the future. No open outrage or injustice has been committed upon either side, but the existance of the Bureau, and Military rule is in my opinion all that has prevented it 
   No suffering for food exists in the Division
Very Respectfully
Your obt servt
