In compliance with your endorsement of the 22d ult I proceeded to Wilson on the 23d ult and continued there until the 26th ult investigating the charges made against an officer of the Bureau in the Sub District of Goldsboro in the within "Anonymous" communication to the War Dept.

This Clothing I am told was sent to Chaplain Glavis by the National Freedmens Aid Society of New York for distribution and sale to Freedmen in his Sub Dist.

Supt Sub-Dist of Goldsboro. My own order, or that of a superior officer of the Bureau. I further found that $45.00 was collected for fines imposed by Chapl. Glavis at three different times thro' a member of the Local Police of Wilson Co whose name is H D Patton and who was detailed by the Capt. of said Local Police for this purpose. I also found that this man Patton was allowed to collect in addition to the judgment and fines imposed by Chaplain Glavis Ten dollars in each case for his services. Attention is invited to the testimony of Mr. Thomas Hadley a citizen of Wilson Co who complains that he was compelled to pay $90.00 unjustly without fair trial and that instead of paying said $90.00 to the complainant "Gilly" a colored woman. She received only $40.00 while $50.00 was retained by the officer Mr. Patton. Patton testifies that he kept $25.00 for his services by order of Chapl Glavis and paid $65.00 to the colored woman "Gilly" This $90.00 was rendered against Mr. Hadley for money supposed to be due this woman "Gilly" - not a fine.
