Lieut. Samuel Walker, U.S. Army
Knoxville, Tenn.

Sir:
On my return from Memphis Tenn I found the enclosed communication from the office of the Commissioner and I have the honor to report that you will give me the history of the current affairs in which Mr. Knight has figured. I did not take much interest in the stories heard at Maryville supporting that. The same were found upon
public grounds.

If you can spare the time please give me all the facts regarding the affairs of Mr Knight and also of Mr Parker and others who may be in the opposition to him.

Very respectfully 
Your obedient servant
C E Compton
Bvt Lt Col & Supt of Ed
Tenn


Please return the enclosed papers.
