NARA 591

Gen. Rutherford,
I would be very glad to have you write to Mr. Watts at the Bureau at Williamston., N.C. and ascertain if he found out two children to Jordan Smith. Their mother is dead. She was my Aunt and I would wish to take charge of the children. Would be glad to know if I can have the charge of them, they are in very bad hands now. If you cannot arrange it for me please let me know soon and I will write to Washington. Hope it will not be denied.
Yours truly,
Church Smith
