General:
I have the honor to report in compliance to circular No 10. dated Head Qrs Ass't Com'r. Richmond Va March 12th 1866 as follows:

There has been but one case tried in my Sub=Dist at which I have had complaint made by Freedmen that injustice had been done them This is the case of Francis Amos vs. William Wallace both parties of Richmond Co Va. I think great injustice was done Francis Amos and that notice should be taken of it by the removal of the two Magistrates who tried the case.

Transcription Notes:
when symbols are used to continue words, does the transcription need to be documented as is written or what the message intended. i.e. fol= at line end and =lows: at beginning of line is meant to be one word "follows:". ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-29 21:39:23 In answer to above, no. It is a similar function to writing "fol -lows" in modern English. Simply transcribe it as a full word without any "-/=".
