Bureau R. F. and A. L.
Hd Qrs 3rd Div 5th Sub-District Va.
Yorktown, Va. August 1st 1867.

General;
Pursuant to Cir. No. 1 C.S. Hd Qrs Asst Comr State of Va. I have the honor to report that the number of unemployed Freedmen is gradually on the decrease in this county. There are still a large number of women and boys however whose better interests would be materially furthered by a removal to other places where labor can be found which is adapted to them. Every exertion will be put forth for this result and by this means I hope soon to be able to report that every Freedman in this county is suitably employed.

I have the honor, to be,
Very Respectfully
Your Ob'dt S'vt
F I Massey
Bvt Capt and AS Asst Comr.

Genl S C Armstrong
Agent 5th Sub-Dist. Va.
