I have no objection to Dr. W.T. Blackford carrying the key of politics but I believe it one step to far for a man to proclaim that he controles every colored man in Hale County and then take an unwarrantable position against an officer of the government. I believe that with out great caution, difficulty with the Freedmen in this section will be inevitable and as I am unacquainted with the Officials of the government I respectfully decline acting longer as an agt. of the Bureau. I have the honor to remain Very Respectfully Your obt Servant G.A. Farrand Agt. B.R.F. & A.L.
