Office Bur R.F. and A L
Mt. Pleasant S.C. 10th May 1867

Respectfully forwarded with explanation - on the 15th of May orders were received from the Asst Com reversing my action in this case & ordering the cow to be taken from Mr Trenkin and turned over to Mrs Dees "the matter to be adjudicated afterwards" As I had already taken the evidence before these orders were received and before Mrs Dees went to Hd Qrs of the Asst Comr, I sent it up in Consequence of the cow having been taken away & the calf starving to death.
 
I can get no further evidence and therefore, and therefore, referred the case for decision the cow having been taken away from [[Lenkers? Trenkin?]], who holds the contract, and delivered to Mrs Dees, in obedience to the order brought by her
