City Point, Va.
October 24th 1866.

Bvt Lt Col James A. Bates,
A.A.A. Gen'l.

Sir,
I have the honor to report that at the last session of the court of Pr Geo Co. not any cases between freedman and whites were tried.

It has been an unusually quiet month, a few cases have arisen among the freed people themselves, but these I have settled in a satisfactory manner without resort to the courts. But one case of beating has been reported to me and this I sent before the County Court.

I am very respectfully,
Your Ob't Servt
J.A. Yeckley
Lt & Asst Supt.
Pr George Co Va
