Col. C.C. Sibley

Col
Mr John C. Bloount who I learn desires an appointment from the Freedmans Bureau & who resides in Decatur County is respectfully connected & he with this family connection (except perhaps one) was opposed to secession, & their participation in the war so far as I know or believe grew out of the law conscribing them & forcing them into active hostilities against the Govt. of the United States I bespeak for him on this account your kind consideration

Very Respectfully
James L Seward
