Lt. P. R. Hambrick
S.A.C. 3d Sub Dist. Va

Lieutenant:

In compliance with the provisions of Cir No 6. Bu RF.AL Hd qrs A.C. Richmond, Va. Jany 27th 1866, I have the honor to submit the following report with reference to the condition of Bureau affairs in this County.

The general state of feeling between the two classes remains unchanged.

There are five day schools in operation in the County at this time; with an attendance of about one hundred scholars. All need some aid, and I am promised some assistance from Mr Manly, State Supt. With a suitable appropriation for that purpose much could be done for the encouragement of education among the colored people; but with the limited means now at command, it is impossible to effect anything commensurate with the actual want.
