I have since tried to find out more, but did not succeed, and report this case for investigation & interference. This man has been kept in irons now over 11 months, & cannot be left to rot in jail till he will able to pay about $ arrests when he is without any means. I am informed that A.W.

April 22 1867 Daniel Andy Billy Harriet asks to settle her claim for her son for first year wages. 27 April 24 1867 Col. M Cogswell Supt C.S. I have the honor to report this month, the C.C. of Caswell Co was held on the 1st instant & attended by me. No sentence in any criminal case was proper. These colored children were bound to whites, 2 orphans without any relations & one child brought into Court by his mother & with her consent. In several cases & whenever an application was made children were returned to their parents when illegally bound. No application of this kind was made in Court. Outside of the Court several claims of Freedmen were compromised by me, and here and at Graham they were aided as usually. Nothing of consequence happened in this Sub District this month. April 23, 1867 the same Freedman Thomas Holt who is working on the plantation of G.W. Iveyson in Perquiman Co. left his wife here over two months ago with about 1 month provision. She is sick & quite destitute of anything. The enclosed answer to a letter of mine will show, that he tries to evade his duty and I report this case, to force him to do so, he being out of my district.

I received the names of these families as being in immediate need from the office of the poor and since 4 more families have been added. Report the same again as coming under Circular no 11 dated Washington D.C. April 3 1867 and request to be informed how to get this supply.
