Rutherford Allan Capt. U.S.A. 

Captain -
During the month of Feby. 1866 Capt. L Bassler Agt. Bureau for this Lumberton Dist, bound two col'd children to James Blount, a citizen of this county. At the time the indentures of apprenticeship were made, the Father, Sam Council, was absent, serving as a Private in the 36th Col'd 
Regt. Mtg. He returned to this place last Friday to look for his children, upon finding them he made application at this office to have their Indentures revoked. If James Blount is willing to relinquish his claim upon the children, shall I revoke the indenture
I am Capt.
Very Respectfully
Your Obt, Servt
Alfred Thomas
