Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, 
Hd. Quarters, Asst. Sub Asst. Commissioner,
3rd & 4th Divisions, 8th Sub District, Virginia, 
Christiansburg, Montgomery Co. Va. September 30th 1868.

Bvt. Capt. Will A Coulter USA.
AAA Genl. 

Capt. I have the honor to make the following report of the administration of civil justice in the counties of Montgomery, Pulaski, Giles, Roanoke, Craig and Floyd, (3rd & 4th Divisions, 8th Sub Dist. Va.) for the month of September 1868.

As far as I can learn in cases where freedmen were concerned, they have been justly and impartially dealt with, by the Magistrates and Civil courts. But few cases have come up for action before the Civil authorities, and they, trivial in their character. 

I am Captain, Very Respectfully
Your Ob't Servant
C.S. Schaeffer
Asst. Sub Asst. Com'r.
