July the 16th. 1867.

1st Lieutenant J.T. Kirkman

Galveston, Texas

Sir,
I have the honor to transmit a letter of J.S. Goodrich, County Judge of Sabine County, communicating a complaint of Freedman Kit Myrick, of Sabine County, against Wm Garrett, of this County, for maiming him for lifetime, by cutting out both of his testicles.

I have examined freedman Kit Myrick, and have found his statement to be true. Said freedman states, that the deed was done in the year 1865, in March or April, and that Wm Garret cut them out himself.
The offence was that Kit Myrick had left the plantation of Wm Garrett without permission.
Wm
