Respectfully returned to Col Rutherford with the information that I have not been able to get any further evidence in case of Edie except the affidavit of an Alfred McKeithan (freedman) this affidavit is not full enough to be of any service in the case it is my opinion that the Indenture should be annuled in this case as Dick has the reputation of being cruel to his slaves.
