people are out of employment in this County especially In Danville all the Tobacco Factories are closed and a great many colored people are out of employment I am very much alarmed that their will be a great deal of Suffering amongst the Colored people here this Winter I am of the opinion that the poor of this County will need assistance from the Bureau And I do not think that the poor Commissoners will be able to meet the required wants of the poor 

The Freedmans School at this post is largely attended I have not been able to visit it this month their churches are well attended by large congregations There Seems to be very little intemperance prevailing amongst them. 

I am most Respectfully
your obedient Servant
