Sir

I have the honor to submit a report on the affairs of the Bureau - in connection with this Division, during the month ending 31st of December 1867 - owing to the short time I have been in charge, limited opportunity has been afforded me for observation - The general condition of the Freedmen in the Division is excellent - and almost without exception - harmonious relations exist between the two races.  Contracts when made have been mutually respected and complied with - In all cases wherein Freedmen were interested strict justice has been done
