Office Sub-Assistant Commissioner, 
Bureau R., F. & A. L., State of Texas
Seguin, Oct 24th, 1866

Brev. Lt. Col. H.A. Ellis
A.A.A.G. B.R.F &c.

Sir,
I reported a few days ago the murder of two freedmen 30 miles below this place. I have now to report that on night before last the wife of one of them was called out of her house and that her scream for help was the last known of her. She is without doubt also murdered as she cannot be found.

I am Sir,
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servt.
S.A. Craig
Capt & Sub Ast. Comr

I will go to investigate to find the bodies, and if possible to know her murderer to arrest.
