Col.
I have the honor to forward enclosed Affidavits in regards to the Freed boy "John Bell" apprenticed to Dr John T. Foster of Butler, Choctaw County. It is my opinion that Moses Davis is not the father of the above named boy, that the boy is illegitimate, that the mother had a right to apprentice him, and I am satisfied that he has a good home, and is well treated. 

I am Col
Very respectfully
