Abbeville, S.C..
October 2nd, 1868.

1st Lieut Wm. Stone.
Sub Asst. Comr.

Lieutenant:

Shortly after forwarding copy of the Abbeville Banner, on the 30th Ult., containing Extract from my Report on Bureau Affairs for August, I concluded to address a note to the Abbeville Press, the next paper to issue, relative to the charge of falsehood brought by D Wyatt Aiken, concerning the murder of Wylie Jones freedman.  I now have the honor to forward a copy of the Press, just out, containing my note.  In the same paper you will also find a very characteristic editorial on the whole subject.  I beg to likewise call your attention to an account which it likewise contains of the murder of the colored & white man on the road near Loundsville, previously referred to.  The white, as well as the black man, is said to have been a Republican.

Very Respectfully.
Your Obt. Servt.,
W.F. De Knight.
Clerk BR.F. & A.L.
