C213 Endorsement on letters of Henry G Claus
Respectfully referred to Mr. Robt Blair SAC. So far as the apprenticeship is concerned action must be taken under G.O. No. 3 current series from this Office. From the surname of the master an apprentice being the same it would seem probable that the latter was apprenticed to his late owner under a law of the State which in at least that particular conflicts with the "Civil Rights Bill", as a general rule the "next kin" have a prior claim in apprenticing, provided of course they are proper persons to be intrusted with the duties of a master. Investigation should be made as to the circumstances attending the finding of the bill of indictment against Henry Summerville and the paper returned with report.
