Wake Co.,

Mr H. Griffis complains that in consideration of provisions &c furnished you when you were unable to get them elsewhere you agreed to let your daughter Eugenia work for him at $75.00 per year until the diff. was satisfied. He says you have taken your daughter away and left the debt unpaid. This is a debt of honor and you should at once cause your daughter to return to fulfill your contract, which I have seen. If you do not attend to this you will please call at this Office and explain the matter and notify Mr Griffis of the day you will be here.
Yours &c

Rowden Lloyd complains that he made a contract to build a house for you. He has raised the building, has prepared the plank for flooring

has made the window frames and dressed the weather boards for which you have only paid him $6.00 You were to give him $250.00 you were to pay him as the work progressed. This you have failed to do. You will call at this Office and explain this matter. You will not be allowed to put any others on the job while this man hold the contract and his claim remains unsatisfied.

A.A.A. Genl.

Colonel,
I have the honor to apply for transportation for Statira Mattis from Raleigh N.C. to Charleston S.C. She wishes to go to her husband and children who are still living there. This woman was sold from the family during the war, and brought here. She is an active and worthy woman, is not chargeable to the Bureau, and probably would not be anywhere. She can get her living but cannot get the means to defray her expenses. If under these circumstances it would be proper, I would recommend that transportation be given to her
I am Colonel
Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Servt
H.C. Vogell
