Captain

The Asst Commissioner directs me to say that if those parties (Citizens of McIntosh Co) who appeared before you about the 16th or 18th of last June and made affidavit to the effect that they had been ordered by certain unknown parties to leave said County and in case of refusal that they would be shot, will bring their cases before Emmanuel Lafite? one of the Justices of the Inferior Court of McIntosh County, that he has given assurances in behalf of the Civil Authorities the matter shall be thoroughly investigated and the guilty parties, if found, arrested, and severely punished.

Respectfully   
Your Obt. Servant,
T. F. Forbes
Lt & A.A.A.G.
