Colonel
I have the honor to call your attention to the action of J.W. Purifoy Esq. Justice of the Peace Wilcox Co. Ala in a case brought before him, as reported by the Solicitor of 11th Judicial Circuit to where the matter was referred for investigation from this office - I enclose his report -

His action in this being without the color of law and in violation of orders from Head Qrs Distr of Ala., I most respectfully request that the functions of his office be suspended.

Very Respectfully
Yr. Obt. Servant
