I have had occasion to observe the conduct of Col Callis as the officer in charge of Freedmans Bureau at this place and believe him to be a diligent faithful and competent officer. If charges are brought against him they are in my judgment ground up and much aversed. Zach Davis

I consider Col Callis one of the best officers in service and that his removal would be detrimental to the interests of the Government. Jno. W. Bond
