Sir :-

You neglected to report the murder of a Freedman named Weston who was killed at Pinnington [Pennington] May 29 1868. by Col. P.V. Green. It is expected that report of crime in your Sub-District will be full and complete and the failure to report the above mentioned case leads this Office to suppose that you are negligent in this particular.

You will immediately make a supplementary report of this case.

Very Respectfully,
Your Obt. Serv't.,
