Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands.
Sub-District of Greenville,
GREENVILLE, ALA. May 10th 1867

Major Geo. H. Tracey
Sub Ass't Commissioner 
Sub District of Mobile,

Major;
I have the honor to transmit to you, a statement prepared for an affidavit regarding the misuse of Government rations in Monroe County. The proposed affidavit was obliged to leave at a certain hour, and meantime a Justice of the peace could not be found to make the affidavit

In the same reason the statement is somewhat incomplete, but presents the main features of a series of transactions which (if not already known to you) I deem of sufficient importance to justify my sending the information in its present crude form. 

Very Respy
Your Obedt Servt
Sam S Gardner
Sub Assistant Commissioner
