Asst Commissioner Richmond Va
Through Dist. Hd Qrs

Genl.

I have the honor to report in compliance with Circular No 6 Hd Qrs Asst Comr Richmond Va that Bureau Affairs remain about the same as when I made my last report. The feeling on the part of the Whites against the Freedmen is perhaps more intense but I think is more to be attributed to political reasons than to any increased opposition to the Bureau - Threats of violence and of turning them out of homes if the do not vote the Conservative ticket are of every day occurrence and I fear will keep many of them from giving an honest expression of opinion at the Ballot Box.

I am Gen'l Very Respt'y 
Yours Obt Servant
FS Tukey ASA Comr.
