Office Sub-Assistant Commissioner,
BUREAU R., F. & A.L., STATE OF TEXAS.
LIBERTY, Liberty Co., June 26th 1867.

Commanding Officer.
Post of Houston.
Houston,
Texas.
Sir:
I have the honor to request that you will send four (4) mounted men to West Liberty, with orders to the non-commissioned officer, in command, to leave his men & horses at that place, and he report to me in person for instructions.
The water being so high & the bridge washed away, it will be impossible to get here with horses. 
I want their services to arrest three men in "Tarkington Prairie", for inhumanly beating & mal-treating, a freedman.
Hoping you will respond to my request immediately.
I have the honor to be,
Very Respectfully
Yr Obt Sert
