In compliance with Circular No 6, Bureau of Refugees Freedmen & Abd Lands Head Qrs. Asst Commr. State of Va. Richmond Va. dated January 29th 1866. I have the honor to report that the feeling existing between the whites and blacks is the same as reported heretofore

There is but little intemperance among the Freedmen of this Division. 

The Freedmen are generally at work the larger portion of them are working by the day or month. preferring that to working for a share of the crop.

Very Respectfully Your obt Servt
