Gen.
I have the honor to report that in regard to "Bureau affairs in General" in my Division. everything has been unusually quiet during the past month
   
A few Freed people have been turned over to the County authorities for support, but I have heard of no arrests for crime: Intemperance does not exist to any extent among the Freedmen though liquor was pretty freely used by them on Christmas day.
 
I have nothing further worthy to report.

Very Respectfully
Your Obv Serv't
Hiram L Hunt
Brt Capt & A.S.A.C.
