Dobson N. C. Octr 28. 66 H. M. Waugh. Applies to be re-appointed Agent B. R. F. & A L. for Surry County N. C. Has taken the "Test" oath with modifications. [No. 2] W 5 Vol 2 B R. F. and A. L. ~ N. C. Bureau R. F. and A. L. Office Supt. Westn Dist N. C. Salisbury Novr. 9. 1866 Respectfully forwarded in accordance with endorsement from Head Qrs of the Asst Comr. dated Octr 9. 1866. Mr Waugh was one of the very best agents the Bureau had in this District and has both the ability and the disposition to aid the Freedman and see that justice is done them. His statement that he served as a member of the State Legislature and a justice of the Peace - not to aid the rebellion but to assist in bringing it to a speedy termination, Can, I believe, be relied upon. If the proper authorities should see fit to reappoint him, the Bureau would secure the services of a capable and honorable Agent. John R. Edie Brevet Col U. S. A. Supt. EB 148
