State of South Carolina.
Executive Department.
Columbia, September 11, 1868.

Col. Jno R. Edie, Asst Comm. of Bureau F.R. and A.L.

Sir:

The case of the Bearer, T. J. Harrold, is one which unquestionably demands investigation by the Bureau, and I respectfully recommend that an agent be sent to investigate the circumstances of this alleged outrage upon his rights.  When the expert is made to this office I will take the necessary steps for the enforcement of laws by the civil power.

Very respectfully,
Robert K Scott
Governor
