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 District, Va.) for the month of December 1868.
The freedmen as far as I can learn have been fairly and impartially dealt with, both by the courts and civil magistrates, and no cases of injustice by reason of race or color have come to my notice.
Very Respectfully
Your Ob't Servant
CS Schaeffer
Asst. Sub Asst. Commissioner
