I have the honor to request information on the following point: Does Paragraph I of General Order No 10, from Hd Qr's 2d Military District apply to Freedmen confined in the County Jails for non-payment of Jail Fees?

There are several cases of persons confined here in jail for non-payment of Jail Fees who have been there many months and as the fees are continually accumulating I see no reason why their imprisonment should not be perpetual 

I am Colonel
