Gen. Swayne
  
Dr Sir
Please find enclosed affidavit of colored man Hamp, who desires your interposition in his behalf. 
     
Personally I have no knowledge of the allegations made in the affidavit - and before your final determination of the matter, I hope that you will give Mr. Moar notice of the application and let him defend if he thinks proper so to do. Mr. M. is my personal
friend and I am not willing to proceed ex parte.
             
Very Respt &c
R.C. Holifield.
