877 Oct 6th. Sir Your communication of 4th. inst has been received. In reply I am directed to say that Majr Leonard A.S.A. Com'r. at Atlanta has been ordered to arrest this man Allen, who when arrested, will be required to make proper provisions for the child referred to and defray all expenses incurred on its account since the time when he took the mother from the child - It is possible that Allen may have left the State. If the information in reference to this case had reached this office sooner the arrest could have be ensured. Respectfully Your Obt Servant T.F. Forbes Lt. & A.A.A.G. J.R. Lyle Esqr Agent Bureau R F & A L Athens Ga
