Bureau R.F. & A.L.
Raleigh Mon 28. 1866

Respectfully forwarded to Dept Comdr. The 
Sentence of the Freedmen's Court is disapproved; because it is inadequate to the charges, & 2d because it exceeds the authority of an officer of this Bureau to impose. I respectfully request that the accused be tried by Military Commission.
