Major:-
In compliance with Circular No. 6, series of 1866, Hd Qrs Asst. Comr. State of Virginia, I have the honor to report that there has been no demonstrations new, consequential or interesting from, or since my last report in Bureau affairs. Oweing to the bad condition of the weather little, or nothing has been accomplished in the way of manual labor, except to make contracts. The Freedmen have nearly all made their arrangements for the year, got moved and settled down ready for the opening spring to show them where to strike effectually to ensure an independence in the way of an honest livelihood.
