Requests information relative to the Govt Farm and states that Mr Granger has been finding the hands and the aged colored people.
June 30
Respectfully forwarded to Col C A Cilley A.A.G. for the action of Maj Genl Robinson Asst. Com. This farm was hired on the part of the Government by Chap Glavis late Asst. Supt. Sub-Dist. of Goldsboro. It seems that the Contract on the part of the Government has not been fulfilled. Application was made by Mr. Granger May 31st 1866, to have the Contract canceled on the account of not having been fulfilled on the part of Government. Said application was endorsed by Major Stickney Asst Supt Sub-Dist. of Goldsboro and was forwarded from these Hd. Qrs. for instructions June 4th 1866. Since which time nothing has been heard from it. It seems necessary that some action should be taken in this matter.
I would recommend that the Farm should be abandoned by the Government.
