Freedmen & thy civil laws (State Laws) will never under they Present Arrangments Peacify or Bring about a Reconcillation the way the Laws is caused into effect

Cannot some more direct system be established to see Freedmen get something like near half justice for thare work & to keep men from getting thare labor By committing to jale without cause &c

If not my Honnest opinion is the Freedmen Bureau had better summons all of the Freedmon to certain places & chop off there heads Indiscrimately without Respect to any one

I hope you will be so kind as Answor  I have been acting as sort of Freedmans Agt in my country since 1st July 1865 Appointed by the then Comr at Gainesvill Ala Lt Col Thomas which appointment was only temporaly the Freedmon still come to me Almost evry day for Redress in some way whare they are swindled

I am your Honnor
