I called on the Messrs Morris and demanded payment,they refused to comply: I hold John's lease for 1865 but there is no lease for 1866 & Gideon says Judge Trigg told him to go on and cultivate the land in the absence of any Agent to execute a lease, and on this authority, Gideon claims that he is exempt from the payment of any rent contending that Judge Triggs authority is supreme. Mr. Morris has employed a lawyer and is trying to have his property restored and will succeed within a few months. I think. I will not proceed further in this case until I receive special instructions in this case, as I promiced I would withhold further action until I heard from you. You will endorse your decision or opinion on this paper and return it to me to Greenville, and on my return will dispose of the case. I have the honor to be Adjt Your Most Obedient Servant J.M. Tracy Capt. V.R.C. and Rental Agent
