I have the honor to enclose herewith an acknowledgement of the receipt of Circular No. 10 from War Department Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands dated August 22d 1866 signed by the Superintendent of Board of Overseers of the Poor of Augusta County Virginia
I have heard nothing in reply to [illeg.] my letter accompanying the Circular forwarded to Highland County the colored population of that County is very small and the Bureau has not been supporting any freedmen of that County.
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
