Capt.

I have the honor to make the following report of Bureau Affairs in the Counties of Montgomery, Pulaski, Giles, Roanoke, Craig and Floyd, (3rd & 4th Divisions, 8th Sub District, Va. for the Month of December 1868.

The close of the Year and of the operations of the Bureau, find the Freedmen greatly improved in their condition and circumstances, throughout the counties under my charge - and with fair prospects for the future.

Their School interests still continue to claim their special attention, and during the Month considerable progress has been made by the Pupils in their studies. Miss Rhoda W Smith, having in charge the School at Newbern, Pulaski Co. Va. for the past twelve or fifteen months, has been obliged to resign on account of ill health, and a new teacher appointed by the Friends Freedmen Association of Philadelphia, Pa. to fill her place, on the 1st of January next.

over.
