Selena Ala Lieut I have the honor to request that you will forward this letter (enclosed) to Capt. W.H.H. Peck, Asst. Supt. at Tuscaloosa.

Major I have the honor to request that you will forward this letter (enclosed) to Capt. W.H.H. Peck Asst. Supt. at Tuscaloosa. The mail between here and that point in so exceedingly irregular that I think if you send the letter by one of the up boats which pass your place it will reach him more promptly than in any other way. Very Respectfully Your obdt. servant O.D. Kinsman Supt. Head Quarters Sub Dist. of Alabama Montgomery Ala Febry 1st 1867 365/398 Peck Capt. W.H.H. Asst. Supt. Tuscaloosa Ala. Captain Two communications have been sent you, the first on the 4" and the second on the 23" ults stating that it was considered advisable to abandon the Bureau station at Tuscaloosa (as being a point less important than some others) and to send you as Superintendent to Talladega which is now without a permanent Superintendent. In these letters you were directed to state the reasons if any existed for not following out this plan. No answers have been received to either of these letters although communications written by you subsequent to both dates have been received here. You will at once acknowledge receipt of this letter stating whether the other letters were received, and if so, why they were not answered, and also make full statement as to the change proposed above. Very Respectfully Your obdt. servant O.D. Kinsman Supt.
