Hd Qts 176th NY Vol
Americus Ga Nov 29/65

Col
I have the honor to acknowledge the recipt of yours of the 24th addressed to the commanding officer in reference to arresting and forwarding N. Wiley to Augusta.

And I would report that I sent out a detachment as soon as your letter was received to the plantation of Mr. Wiley in Lee Co about forty miles from here and they got back this morning unsuccessful the Bureau and the Negroes say that Mr. Wiley has not been there for several months though they have been expecting him. I have been informed that Mr. W has another plantation in Lee and will send them at once and notify you of the result. The overseer says that Mr. Wiley resides in Augusta.

I have the honor Col
to remain Your Obdt Servt
