Head Quarters Asst. Sub Asst. Comr 2d Div 8th Sub Dist Va
Abingdon Va. September 25th 1867.

Bvt. Brig. Genl O. Brown
Asst Comr
Richmond Va.

General,
I have the honor to make the following report of the administration of civil justice in my Sub Dist comprising the Counties of Washington Russell Buchanan Scott Lee and Wise for the month of September 1867, as follows.

Civil justice is administered to the colored man impartially in this district and I dont believe that in any case justice has been administered in a way that any party could take exception to the decision of the courts.

Very Respectfully
Your obedient servant
John O. O'Neill
Capt. V.R.C.
Asst. Sub Asst Comr
