Bureau of Refugees, freedmen and Abandoned Lands, Headquarters Ass't Commissioner, State of North Carolina, Raleigh, N.C., April 13th 1866. Capt. An officer, Lieut. Allison has just reported & I have assigned him to you. You can keep him at New Bern to investigate the Fitz affair & then assign him where he is most needed. I suppose Kinston. If the evidence of guilt is very strong it may be best relieve Mr. F. at once; but unless there is danger of further wrongs, I should prefer to let him stay till the result of the investigation is reached. Yours truly E. Whittlesey Asst. Comr.
