Office Bureau R. F. and A. L.
Graham N. C. June 11. 1868

Lieutenant
I have the honor to report that I have received orders from Post Hd Qrs at Raleigh, directing me to investigate election frauds e.t.c,.— I have been for that purpose for about seven days in Yanceyville and estimate the time required for the thorough performance of these duties to be about four (:4:) weeks, provided no more orders are received in the meantime.— The order in regard to Caswell County emanates from District Head Quarters and requires immediate attention.

I am unable to make long and important reports, to hear evidence etc, to be at the same time obliged to answer hundreds

Transcription Notes:
Just FYI: Per 5/15 email communication with SI staff, we no longer need to include ^ symbol to denote superscripts when transcribing (e.g., May 2d rather than May 2^d). -- Beth
