Bureau Affairs in this Division is Good, the Freedmen are prospering, there is sufficient Labor for the demand, the Freedmen are industrious and receive fair wages for their Labor.

The State of feeling existing between the Whites and the Freedmen is not very good. the Whites in general treat the Freedman with Suspicion and place very little confidence in them. the Freedmen I believe are disposed to place more confidence in the Whites than heretofore. No organization for the furtherance of the cause of temperance has been effected in this Division though endeavors are being made for that purpose, the Freedmen are not inclined to intemperance.
