Bureau of R F and A Lands
Office Supt Amelia & Powhatan Counties Va
Amelia C. House Aug 31st 1866

Sir
In accordance with Par VI Cir 10 Bureau RF&A Lands Head Quarters Asst Comr State Va Richmond March 12th 1866. I have the honor to make the following report of the manner in which the above named order has resulted with reference to the interests of the Freedmen.

Owing to the fact that I have very recently assumed the chare of this Sub-district, the opportunity to witness the trial of cases before the County Court of Powhatan has not been mine. So far, however, as Amelia County is concerned I can safely say that even handed justice is meted out to all parties without any distinction being made on account of color.

In my humble opinion Cir 10 is doing more to restore confidence
