Jr Sir, Your attention is called to Genl Order No 19, Hd Qrtrs 4th Military District, which directs that the laborers portion of the crop be assigned to them & that no crop be removed [[strikethrough]] or disposed [[/strikethrough]] until the same is done &c. If a dispute arises between the employer & laborer relative to advances &c the same is to be settled by arbitration as in said order proscribed. A liberal construction of the order would give to the employer a lien upon the crop of the laborer for necessary advances furnished for making the crop which the employer could demand of the purchaser or laborer before removal of the crop from the premises but in no case has the employer, the right to dispose of the laborers crop without his consent I am Sir Very Respectfully &c Wm K White Agent Bu RF & AL 644# Bureau Refugees Freedmen and AL Office Sub District of Columbus Columbus Miss Dec 4, 1867 Barber Lieut M.
