Genl

I have the honor to Submit the following report of Bureau affairs in the 2d Division of the 9th Sub Dist of Va for the month Ending April 30th 1868.

During this I have visited the different County Seates and towns in this Division and find the freedmen generally well treated & they are well satisfied with their prospect of pay.

No complaint has been made to me of abuse or fraud except in Clark Co where the feeling of hatred is stronger than in any other

Transcription Notes:
very difficult handwriting; notice how often the writer does not connect the top of his lowercase letters (Ex. the "a" in "have" and the "o" in "month" in paragraph 1); context helps in deciphering text ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-03-24 14:59:16 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-03-24 15:15:19 fixed minor typo: Clark "Co", not "Ca"
