Bureau R.F. & A Lands. 5th Division 7th Sub District Counties Rockbridge Bath and Alleghany Lexington Va June 30th 1868. Major R.S. Lacey Sub Asst. Commr. Major In compliance with circular No 10 Bureau R.F. & A Lands Hdqrs Asst Commr dated Richmond Va. March 12/1867 In reference to Par IV same order I have the honor to report that great feeling exists against the appearance of any Bureau officer in civil courts as counsel for Freedmen. In reference to Par VI same order I have the honor to report that I do not consider that the Freedmen can obtain justice in the civil courts of this division in any case of importance in which a white man is a party. Some Justices of the Peace do their duty well and justly and deserve credit. Amongst these may be named, Squires, Figgett, Campbell & Houstan. I am Major Very Respectfully Your ob't servant.
