HEADQUARTERS,

STATE OF TEXAS,
Galveston, Apl. 10th 1866.
Respectfully returned to Lieut Jones S.A. Comr and attention called to the reply of Col. Mann. In a personal interview he gave he impression that he was a straight forward kind of a man and if the Freedmen hat book their contracts are the only ones claiming pay it would seem to be a claim that cannot be sustained. you will now hare [[hear]] both sides of the case and can judge of its merits.
