I found it impossible to remove all the dependents from Roanoke Island, but the number who will receive assistance in May will be small. Complaints reached me some weeks since of the conduct of [[Mr? Wm?]] Fitz Supt. of the Trent river Settlement, and an investigation was ordered. The officer after a careful examination of many witnesses, sent in the testimony & proceedings to Maj F.A. Seely, but before they had been received or acted upon, the papers were demanded by Genl. Steedman, and a portion of the evidence & charges were published in the N.Y. Herald May 2' furnished by a correspondent traveling with the Commission" An officer has been assigned to relieve Mr. Fitz A case of shooting [[strikethrough]] of [[/strikethrough]] a freedman in Pitt Co. is being investigated, and will be reported in full as early as possible.
