0278 234 December 24th 9 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.
