Colonel:
I have the honor to report, that in all cases tried in the civil courts of Mecklenburg Co during the month of February 1868 where Freedmen were a party, in the cases, they have in my judgement receive impartial trials under the laws of this state. There was cases tried by the civil authorities here, in the latter part of Dec 1867, & the 1st Jan 1868 (while there was no Bureau Office here) in which Freedmen were a party, & did not receive just trials under the law.

Very respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
