General:
I have the honor to report pursuant to Circular No 1. Series of 1866 that the number of unemployed Freedmen in this sub dist. is somewhat increased since my last report owing to the discontinuance of the oyster trade although many oystermen obtain a precarious living as fishermen and "grub" a little in the fields to eke out a living til next season.

Very respectfully
Your Obt Servt
