Colonel W. H. Buler Local Super R. F. and A. L.

Col — 
The long delay of arrival of freedpeople urges me to again importune you upon the matter. Can we rely on their coming say within the next week or ten days? The question of the arrival of Freed-people is a enormentous one in the domestic circle here! I have waited patiently, and begin to despair seeing any of the Freedmen's welcome faces.

Will Colonel Buler confer a favor upon the anxious multitude by answering the above interogatives as soon as convenient — 

Very respectfully your obedient Servant
Geo. E. Stephens
