Genl, 
The following Resolution was unanimously adopted by the "Labor Regulating Association" of Clarke Co. Resolved. That the President of the "Labor Regulatory Association" of this county open a correspondence with Genl Wager Swayne of the Freedmen's Bureau at Montgomery, and ascertain from him the rules and regulations adopted by the Bureau for Freedmen and Freedwomen of said county. I have been appointed the correspondent to make this communication to you. I would respectfully invite your attention at us early a day as practicable to the subject matter of this Resolution. I need only suggest that there is much anxiety felt for the orphans as the winter approaches.
To insure a prompt answer,
I am, Sir 
Your obt. Svt.
