The Temperance movement is the same as at last report & will remain so untill the FreedPeople have churches & Preachers, Schools & Teachers. The FreedPeople are not disposed as a class this year to make long Contracts for the year, but are to a much greater extent than last year going by themselves, building houses on small garden plots & depending for the future on such work as they can procure by the day. Whether this will be a damage to their interests time will determine. Those who do make bargains for the year are making contracts more generaly than last year. 

Respectfully Your & Obt Servt.
