B3 Office Sub-Assistant Commissioner, Bureau of R., F. & A. L., State of Texas. Columbia, March 5th, 1866. Capt. C. C. Morse A. A. A. General Sir, I send herewith an order from Edward Bess, freedman, for the payment of the money referred to in the accompanying document. Said Freedman requested me to have the money sent to my care at this place, & he will call for it. He lives about 22 miles from this place, - that is the reason I did not obtain his order sooner. Respectfully J. B. Bostwick Capt & Sub. Asst. Com.
