Neajn,
     I have the honor to report that in
obedience to your endorsement of the 15th wish
on communication of Bus Maj Deaue Auae
AG. relative to the official character and  
action of the sheriff of Bamwell District and
also upon the action of the Guland agent
of the Bureau, I have endeavored to ascertain
the nature of the complaints against these of
ficials but without success.
    Within the last five or six months, I have been compelled, with attending the sessions of
the Provost Court to be at Bamwell O.H.several
times and have consequently had the opper-
tunity of seeing much of the Sherrif, and have also noticed the Gerlands way of performing
his duties.
    I have had a high opinion of the honesty
and integrity of the Sheriff and believe him
to be a just officer in his dealings with all classes. The colored people of Bomwell o.H. had 
great confidence in him last summer as he was chosen by their a delegate to the Republican
Late Convention
