General:
I have the honor to report in compliance
with Par. 6 cir. no. 10. from Hed. Qrs. 
Ass't. Com. of Va. that the effect of the operation
of this circular in giving jurisdiction
to the civil authorities in cases where crimes
are committed against freedmen in Louisa
county is at present to leave them without
proper protection. It does not appear
to be so in Orange co. 
I am-
Very Respectfully 
Your Ob't. Servant
