Bureau Ref F & A. L. Hd Qurs A.S.A.C. 3rd Div 5th S. Dist Va. Yorktown, Va Aug 31st 1868. Brvt. Brig. Gen'l. O. Brown, Asst Com'r. B.R.F & AL of Dist Va Richmond. General: I have the honor to report for August 1868 in compliance with Cir. No. 6 Hd. Qurs. Dist Va, series 1866, as follows: Having so very recently been ordered to take charge of this 3rd Div of 5th S. Dist. it is impossible for me to give you a full report of the existing feeling between the two races called for in said cir. But from what I have observed, it is not at all amicable. The whites will persist in a system of persecution toward the colored, which is plainly to be seen when ever they have an opportunity safely to display it. (over)
