Refers letter of Rev. H.M. Turner, late Chaplain 1st & 128th U.S. Cold Troops relative to the murder of several colored men in Georgia

W.72. March 7th 1867.

Respectfully referred to the Hon Secretary of War. I know the writer (a clergyman) to be a man of character and truth, and I think it is about time such outrages as he reports should be looked after.
