Thro Hd  Qrs 3d Sub Dist Va
In compliance with circular No. 6 HdQtrs Asst. Com'r Dist of Va. I have the honor to report the condition of Bureau affairs unchanged since last report with one exception. The threats made by the whites of discharge which had troubled the freedmen have all proved so far as I can learn merely threats. The interest in schools is increasing. There are a few of both colors who attempt to damage the school work by false statements repeated & mad larger by each repetition. Chief among these is B.F. Jones (colored) who thinks he should have been a teacher. There is a general dearth of provisions among the freedmen which will continue until the fall crops are ready for market
