Major
Complaint has been made to me that a white man named Neadum Herring residing near Keansville in Duplin County took from the Post Office a letter addressed to Danl Pearson (Freedman) and that he refuses to deliver said letter to its owner. You will investigate this case and report so that if there is sufficient cause the man Herring can be indicted before the U.S. Court for stealing from the U.S. Mail

I am major
Very respectfully
Your Obdt Servant
