Bluffton Chambers County Ala
June 24th 1868


Dear Sir

Thinking there may be a probability of removing the present Agt from this place; We your humble petitioners would most respectfully ask your honor to continue Maj. H.H. Hunter, Sub Asst Com B.R. F & A L at this place; since we have made his acquaintance & become familiar with his course, we are satisfied that he will suit us better than any we can get & that he will come as near doing justice to all parties as any one that might be sent in his place, since his arrival among us every thing seems to be working well, and believing that it is the wish of all concerned that an amicable adjustment of all difficulties should have a peaceful termination, we therefore pray your honor to give our request due consideration & if consistent with other arrangement to grant our petition and we will pray &c

Signed --
