Freedman Village Va., 
Sept 18th 1865

Lieut S.N. Clark

The bearer hereof Henry Peale (col'd) has been a resident of this village, to my knowledge, for a year past.

He is an honest industrious and upright man, one who is worthy of confidence and respect

I know of no man in the village who is more orderly and polite in his deportment

Very Respectfully
(Sd) G B Carse
Capt V.R.C. & Sup't
