Ord. 6 S1866 I have the honor to report that during the month of August the examinations or trials of Freedmen have been conducted with entire fairness and counsel appear always ready to defend. I regret that so many Freedmen should be imprisoned in the jail at Staunton but though I have made repeated visits none complain they and unjustly imprisoned.
