Respectfully forwarded to Lieut. J. T. Kirkman A.A.A. Gen. Bu. R.F.&.A.L. Mr Phillips presented me this communication with the request that I forward it to the Asst Comr. for his dicision, with regard to the complaint of Blanchard & Phillips. I informed Mr Phillips that I did not think it a proper case for me to act upon, and that I thought that it was the intention of the Gen Comdg that such cases should come before the civil courts, as there was now a chance for Union men to obtain justice in them by the enforcement of the "Jury Order", Mr Phillips is a Union man & was a Union man during The rebellion and he is now the object of the cordial dislike and hatred of nearly all the white citizens of this county; on account of his political sentiments & the course pursued by him during the rebellion, In 1864 he fled to Mexico to avoid service in the Confederacy. Of Mr. Blanchard. I know but little but I believe that he was a rebel during the rebellion,
