General,

Pursuant to Par. 6, Circ. 10, series /66., I have the honor to report that the transfer of jurisdiction from Bureau Courts to Civil Authorities, in this Division, has not yet, apparently, resulted in injury to, or dissatisfaction among the Freedpeople.  It is believed thus far, impartial justice has been administered. 

I am, very respectfully,
Your obt. servt.
