Assistant Commissioner,

General

In compliance with Circular No 6 Series 1866 Asst Comm'r Va I have the honor to report that with a majority the feeling existing between the whites and freedmen is that of distrust and an unwillingness of the whites to aid them in anything relating to the advancement of the freedmen The health of the freedpeople in this Division is good and they are better clad and provisioned than any previous month since my assignment to duty here

The schools are in a flourishing condition and out of the six in operation in this Div two are supported by the freedmen themselves

Very Respectfully Your obt servt
B.F. Shaune
Asst Sub Asst Comm'r
