In complance with Circular No. 6 since 1866 Hdqrs Asst Commr State of Va
I have the honor to report for the month of March 1868 that the feeling existing between the whites and freedmen remain about the same as at last report. Both classes have a deep feeling of distrust, and upon the part of the whites every effort is made to make the conditions of the freedmen such that he will be subservient to their will.

The schools of this Division are in a flourishing condition and the colored people are awake to the necessity of educating their children.

Very Respectfully Your obdt Servt
