My dear Judge,

About a month ago Major Tracy the chief of the Freedmens' Bureau here, called on me to sign duplicate certificates, or rather receipts for $1800. for the rent of the Med College. He said Genl Swayne ordered it to be done and the documents to be returned to Montgomery. The documents were forwarded but as yet I have heard nothing of the Money. Major Tracy advised me yesterday to write to Montgomery and inquire about the matter. Will you be good enough to see Genl Swayne, or his disbursing officer on the subject, as the college sadly needs the money.

Yours truly
Wm H Anderson
Dean of Faculty
