General.
In compliance with Circular No 6. from Head Quarters Assistant Commissioner Va dated Richmond Va January 29th 1866. I have the honor to report.
That the Freedmen of this division are behaving remarkably well and are doing all they can to make honest livelihoods. With very few exceptions they are very
temperate in their habits, and very seldom a Colored man is seen disorderly. While on the contrary every Court day from ten to fifteen white men under the influence of Liquor.
