General.
In compliance with Special Orders No. 170. from your office, dated Novr. 30th 1866., I proceeded to Butler, Taylor Co to investigate the charges referred to in the enclosed report of Lt Dodt; against J. L. Harmon Agent of the Bureau at that place. Upon examining his records, I found that the charge of collusion with Archibald Matthews in endeavoring to defraud Sally, Green & Abram Matthews and Wiley Searcey (freedpeople) ont of their just dues, was not entirely sustained, - The records of Mr Harmon, Agent, show that on Sept 4th /66 the parties were all notified to appear before him for a settlement. - The defendant Archibald Matthews did not appear, judgement was rendered against him for $734.00 being the amount due the plaintiffs for 8 months
