General,
I have the honor to report pursuant to Cir No 10 Series 1866 from Hd Qrs Asst Com Dist of Va that the Administration of Civil Justice in cases where the rights and interests of Freedmen are involved in this Division is gradually improving as changes are made by the appointment of loyal men to the judicial and Executive positions.  The great enemy of the Freedmen rights however is found in the prejudices of the white race against them A prejudice which is often displayed in unjust verdicts of juries.  

I am General
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
