Houston, Tex. Nov. 21 66
Bv't Lt Col H.A. Ellis
AAAG
Colonel:
My order of the 19th inst. is working better than I expected. I have brought several parties, who had refused to make any settlement with negroes to settle with them at this office today. Some innocent parties will of course suffer, but these parties are so few and scattered that it will not affect them much, the enclosed is a copy of my order.
Very respectfully
Your obt serv't
J. C. DeGress
