Sir - With this communication you will find two letters, one of which is from Rev C M Caldwell and the other from B G Neal Both of Newnan Geo. I had occasion to visit this Town of Newnan under orders from Gen Tillson some eight months since and the State of feeling manifested by the White People toward the colored was noticeable for its Turbulance and Cruelty in the case I was Instructed to Investigate and Report

The Names of those who make complaint are well known to me one of which (Mr Caldwell) I have known for several years Favorably. I think their call for protection worthy of attention
