Bvt Brig Gen O Brown

General,
I have the honor to forward the following report of unemployed freedmen in the 9th Dist Va according to their respective counties viz.

Elisabeth City contains not less than three hundred able bodied men and seven hundred able bodied women who are barely making a living - (very few are actually and entirely idle) - but partially occupied and who cannot get full employment.

York County contains two hundred men and three hundred women in a similar condition.

The Counties of Matthews, Gloucester, James City, New Kent, King William, Charles City, and Warwick do not contain any surplus population and nine of these counties are reported as unoccupied.

I am General
With Great Respect 
S C Armstrong Supt 9th Dist
