Sir:
I have the honor to request a detailed statement of the special plan to be pursued in order to recover the wages of freedmen unjustly witheld by planters, who having completed their crops, summarily dismiss their laborers without settlement.

In most of these cases the cotton passes through this city. An early answer is requested.
