Hopkinsville Kentucky
Augt 9 1871

Hon W. W. Belknap
Secretary of War
Washington D.C.

Sir
I have written to Mr. Dell Glassie and also sent him one of my Circulars and he fails to answer me.

I have also written to the office of the Freedmens Bureau at Washington and they fail to give me any other information than that Glasser says he paid the claims.

I am at a loss to know how to get my money. I have ample proof by whites & colored of the truth of my statement.

With great respect yours
Saml. Burrell his X mark
