Bvt Brig. Genl. O. Brown
Asst Commissioner
Richmond Va.

General.
In obedience to the requirements of Circular No 6 series of 1866 Hd Qrs Asst Comr State of Va. I have the honor to report that there has nothing occurred during the last month in this Division in and of the Freedmen themselves, to occasion any disturbance in Bureau affairs. There have however false reports gained circulation through the papers regarding affairs in this Division. Reports magnified out of almost nothing and conceived & circulated for mischief. The Whites are very exacting of the Freedmen, being unwilling and even refusing to grant them any favors or even the privileges which they have a legitimate right to exercise.
