Jackson Miss Sept 13 1867

Maj. Gen. Ord.

Dear Sir, I beg leave to inform you that I did work on a house used for the Bureau in this city by order of Lieut Williams.  The Lieut made arrangements with Capt Gardner later on duty here for my pay.  The Captain never gave it to me.  I am a poor hard working colored man and would very much like to have the ammount due me-nine dollars-  Lieut Williams knows all about it.
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
J.M. Jones
