I have the honor to report in compliance with Circular No. 6 Hd. Qrs. Asst Com. District of Virginia that Bureau affairs in this Division are - so far as the feelings and opinions of the colored people are concerned somewhat improved since my last report, i.e. measures which have been taken have to some extent produced a better state of feeling among them, and they once more begin to regard the Government as their best friend. There is much destitution and suffering among them however for the want of Clothing which I have been unable to relieve in any degree for the want of means to do it.
