Head Quarters Dist of Alabama
Montgomery Ala July 10 1867

Respectfully referred to Robert T. Smith. Sub Assistant Commissioner at Opelika, who will as soon as practicable visit the general locality herein described and particularly large plantations from which no persons have come forward to register.

He will use his personal endeavors to have the freedmen well informed and will report what further measures are necessary. He will also investigate the charges preferred against Adams and report the practicability of securing evidence enough of the murder committed by him to cause convictions by a Military Commission.

The confidential nature of the original communication will be duly respected.

By Command of
Major General Wager Swayne

1st Lieut 41st Infantry
