Office ASA Comr Bureau RF and AL Griffin July 18/1866 Respectfully referred to Capt. W W Deane AAG with the request that Mr Swayze be sustained. If a city ordinance has been violated both men should have been punished. but as this would inflict a fine upon one who had been a good Rebel, His Honor accomplishes the ends of Justice (so called) by imposing a fine upon the loyal man, and permit the Rebel to go unpunished, and happy in the assurance he has taken the oath. He will be sustained by his Honor in calling the Flagg a damed old Rag. E.M.L. Ehlers Capt and ASA Comr Recd OAC July 21st 1866
