Crawford Ala Aug 26.1867 Gen Swayne Dear Sir: Sometime since I addressed you a communication in behalf of a freedman, Augustus Giddens, in relation to a fine imposed upon him at last Court. The Sheriff threatens a levy upon his property and a levy now will probably ruin him as it is to be upon mules and he is carrying on a farm. Please write me whether you have taken any action upon it and if so what? Respectfully &c John M Philips PS address me at Colombus PO Box 201 J.M.P
