General
I have the honor to report pursuant to Cir No 10 Series 1866 from Hd Qrs Asst Com Dist of Va. That the Civil Authorities have administered the Laws in cases where the rights and interests of Freedmen were concerned in a fair and impartial manner. The Magistrates in the country portions of the Division appear more ready to attend by the complaints of the Freedmen and to redress their grievances than formerly; While in the City Since the change of City Officers the complaints of injustice have entirely ceased.

I am General
very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
