Office Asst Supt Mathews Co. Va 
Mathews Ct Ho. Va. May 23rd 1866

Genl S.C. Armstrong Supt 9th Dist Va}

Sir-

I have the honor to report agreeable to Cir. No. 18 Hd Qrs Asst Comr State of Va. that the county is just now assuming the care of all destitute white people, thus making it unnecessary for Govt to provide in such cases in this county.
So far as I am able to learn seed has been planted for the present year. In many cases it would have been a great help to the Freedmen if the seed would have been furnished. but now this has been obtained from other sources.

I am Very Respectfully 
Your Obedient Servant
E.A. Chandler 
Lt & Asst Supt 
Mathews Co. Va,
