Executive of Texas Austin Feby 11th 1867 Maj Genl Griffin Com'd'g Dist of Texas, & Comr Bu. R.F. & A.L. Galveston General Enclosed I forward you copy of communication from Dist Atty, C.B. Pearre, of Waco, in relation to reported attempt of mob to rescue Dr Bell and McCreary, and in relation to murder of freedmen, in that county, some time since. I entertain no doubt of the entire truthfulness of the Dist Atty's statement, and that Maj Manning was entirely mistaken about the attempted rescue, and the Grand Jury, giving the murderer of the freedman information, so as to escape Very Respectfully Your Ob't Sv't J W Throckmorton Gov of Texas
