General ,

I have the honor to report that it has come to my knowledge, that a freedman with the name of Richard, was shot and killed by a man with the name of Fortenbury, overseer on the plantation of Mr. Norris, in Russell Co. Ala. about 2 1/2 miles from here. A relative of the col. man, and also one of Mr. Norris's sons, reported it to me this morning, and I referred them to the Agent of the Bureau in Russell Co.

I am with much respects, 
Your ob't serv't
