Excerpt from record	"Complaints have been few this month. Compared with those of last; no outrages having been perpetrated that I have heard of. Not but what they have for the same disposition to commit such acts as heretofore, but is through fear of the Governor calling out the militia that they have been quiet. Complaints that have been made are where the Employer and the Employee disagree. In two cased of this kind I have had the parties arrested, procured counsel and will have this matter investigated. The general condition of the Freedmen is pretty good. Crops are very fine, and the majority seem to think that they will reap rich harvest from their labor this year."
