General,
In compliance with Circular No. 6. Series of 1866 I have the honor to report that the condition of the Freedmen in my Division is not verry flattering, for the white people seam to have more pure cussedness, than I have ever seen in the same number, and my observation leads me to believe that many of the colored have learned to immitate that rascally virtue. 

Polatics is the thing uppermost in the minds of what few I have seen, both colored and white. The white men seam to be unanimous in the proposition to discharge all of the colored men who vote otherwise than they direct, the colored men say that makes but little difference, for the white men will not till the soil, and they will have to hire others to do it, so it will be only a change of places
