Major

I have the honor to request that some steps be taken to bring to justice Mr R S Lee of Butler Co Ala. for inhumanely beating a freedwoman the wife of Allen King some time last summer, also for an assault with intent to kill Peter Golston a freedman on the 9th inst.

Also William Lee son of the above mentioned R S Lee for shooting Morris Golston on the 10th inst. Morris Golston is still living but is in dangerous condition.

I reported R S Lee for assaulting Peter Golston and William Lee for shooting Morris Golston to the Probate judge of this County on the 11th inst. but on my return from Montgomery I learn that nothing has been done in refference to the cases mentioned
