Tuskegee 17 Feb /68

Gov Hayden

Yours containing Commr R J Smith report came to hand to day, and have to say, that Commr Smith or myself have been very unfortunate in meeting with the freedman employed by Felton & Slidell, I know as well as every other man who lives in this section, that Felton is an honorable man, and if he has not destroyed the contract or rather the mutual agreement can show, that the failure to settle does not attach to him

Most Respectfully
