General,
I have the honor to report pursuant to Cir No 6 Series 1866 from Hd Qrs Asst Com Dist of Va that the general condition of Freedmens Affairs in this Division at this date is good. The Freedmen have, as a body, been subject to no Sickness during the past summer and at this time the Sanitary Condition is favorable. The demand and supply of labor have been well balanced  all have been able to find work who wished to do so. The tenants on the Wise Farm have been industrious and have labored hard to secure a Crop, most of them have been successful while there are those who after paying the Rent Stipulated in the Lease entered into with this Bureau will be in poor condition to stand the rigors
