Montgomery to this Office, and the consequent necessity of returning them for Correction. Very Respectfully Your Obt Servt Chas. Garretson 2nd Lieut 1st Infantry AAAG AAQM & D.O. Hd qrs BRF & AL State of Texas Galveston Oct. 22, 1867 310 Johnson H.S. S.A.C. Sumpter Sir, I am directed by the Asst Com. to acknowledge receipt of the papers in the case of Denis Harrison vs. Nancy Youngblood. So much of your decision as allows Denis Harrison $60. for services for self and wife is disapproved. It appears from the evidence that Harrison only remained with Mrs Youngblood until he could find a place; and from his own testimony he claims to have spent most of his time trading with his pigs, chickens & little things. The judgement of $200 less $29 paid, againt Mrs. Youngblood in favor of Denis Harrison is approved. I am very Respectfully Your Obt. Servt. Chas. Garretson 2nd Lt 17 Infy A.A.A.G. See L.R.
