Supt 3rd Dist of Va

Lieut
In compliance with Circular No 18 from Hd Qurs Asst Comr of Va, dated May 8th 1866, I have the honor to report that as far as I can learn there are, in this Sub District, no destitute white citizens who do not receive relief from the overseers of the poor upon application.

I believe there are no persons now in need of Seed for Spring crops, as almost every one has their crops in the ground and it is too late to plant more

Very respectfully
Your obt Servt
