U.S. Court Rooms Galveston Texas 6 Feby. 1867.
Maj.Genl. Giffins Chief Freedmens Affairs in Texas.
General,
Gov. Throckmortons profession of a claim to give the civil authorities of Texas an opportunity to discharge their duties I think should be met fairly and squarely. Let the proper complaint in one form of law be made. The case is one of a character that brings disgrace upon the civilization of the age and if there be any disposition on the part of the civil authorities to disreard their duties with fidelity, ample opportunity is here presented. 
I have the honor to be very truly your obdt sevt. 
D.J. Baldwin US. Dist. Atto.
