Colonel:-
In reply to your confidential communication dated Jan. 29, 1866, requesting a report of the character of R.C. Scott, Agent for Haywood Co. Tenn., I would state, that a number of gentlemen from Scott Co. represented the man Scott, to me, as a disloyal man, and in no manner or way acting as becomes a loyal man.

Very Respectfully
Your obedient servant
