    Herewith I respectfully enclose vouchers for travelling expenses in visiting Lake Village. Important business that could not be entrusted to our uncertain mails made this trip necessary.

    Sub vouchers for horse hire from Columbia to L. Village & back were receive from the illiterate freedmen who furnished the animals & duly witnessed but I regret have been mis-laid.

                   Very respectfully,
                   Your obedient servant,
                   Wm. M. Colby,
