Asst. Com'r

General:
 
I have the honor to report that the condition of freedmen in the 1st Div. of this Sub Dist. has for the past month been not materially changed. I fully believe that the wisest course is now to leave them to themselves and that further physical relief would do more harm than good. 

Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Servt
