General
In compliance with Circular No 6 dated Hd Qrs Asst Comr Richmond Va January 29th 1866 I have the honor to report that the Freedmen of this division are at work generaly and evince the same disposition towards their own elevation as before reported  The opposition to their advancement is perhaps more bitter on account of the election about to take place.

The organization called "Ku Klux Klan" is said to be in full opperation here and will (if so) show itself upon the election soon to be held

Quite a number of claims have been settled by me during the past month. The loyal Whites have considerable trouble yet

The schools are smaller in consequence of Spring work the good work done by these schools is beyond calculation.
