Description	Captain Michael Walsh’s report of the conditions and activities of the Bureau at Murfreesboro is part of a larger report on the Nashville sub district. In his report, Walsh notes that the general condition of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County is good. Walsh reports the amount of bounty paid out by the Bureau office in Murfreesboro over the last month. Walsh notes that once African American soldiers are paid their bounty money they leave the area for other states. Walsh remarks that “The freedmen do not assign one either (a reason for leaving the area) only that they want to go home.” Walsh finishes his report commenting on the perceived power of the courts in Murfreesboro, the conditions of the labor market, etc.
