Clarke Co Ala Feby 28th 1867 Maj. O.D. Kinsmon Dear Sir I am requested by a number of Freedmen & White persons to ask you if there is any law, military, or civil compelling freed persons to marry who have been living together as Husband and Wife for years? I also want to inquire if N.B. Markle is still employed by the Bureau? he owes me $80 00 and I am very needy at present. I wrote you some time ago in answer to certain questions propounded by you and once since but have heard nothing from you. I hope my years work as "Bureau agent" will not be forgotten. I am sir Very Respectfully Your Obd't Serv't M.C. Osborn
