Office Depot Commissary of Sub
Morehead City, N.C.
January 20th 1866

Captain
Henry Clay (colored) my overseer of laborers was arrested this evening by Mr. Murdock Mayor of this town for breaking the peace, and it is proposed by him to try Clay to morrow morning at nine oclock.

I have already protested against his having any jurisdiction in this case and take this means of making known to you the fact so that you may take any steps in the matter you may see proper.

Very Respectfully Sir
Your Obt Servant
