In accordance with Circular No. 10 Hd. Qrs. Asst. Com. State of Virginia I have the honor to make the following report of the county of Sussex for the month of August 1866. 

I have not been in the county long enough nor have I seen the matter exhibited with sufficient clearness to be able to tell whether the transfer of criminal cases from the Freedmans Bureau to the civil authorities has affected the interests of the Freedmen injuriously or otherwise in Sussex -

Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Servt.
