Bureau R.F. & A.L.
Sub-Dist of Goochland & Fluvanna Counties Va
Goochland C-H- Va Nov 30th 1866

Bvt. Maj W.R Morse
Supt 4th Dist Va

Major:
In compliance with Circular No. 10, C.S. I have the honor to report:

That no injustice or oppression has happened against any Freed persons in this Sub District. That the evidence of colored persons has been admitted in all cases: but there is no doubt that Such evidence is admitted with no small degree of prejudice.

That Justices of the Peace, Attornies of Com'th and Grand Juries have not refused justice - except that Justices of the Peace have advised complaints to be made directly to the Grand Jury rather than act upon it in an individual capacity. Through this mode of proceeding none have been prevented from having a trial.

Very respectfully
Your obt Servt
J.F. Wilson
Bvt Capt & Asst Supt
