E.B. 19 O.A.S. F 21

Bureau R.F.A.L.
Office Asst. Supt. Eliz. City Co. Va.
Fort Monroe. June 15./66

Respt. returned to Genl. S.C. Armstrong Supt. 9th Dist. Va. 

At the time that the case of Mary White was presented to the civil authorities, this Bureau had no Jurisdiction in such cases; of which fact the magistrates of this county were well aware.

No decision given by the civil authorities has, at any time, been "reversed"; nor has any prisoner held by such authority ever been released by me.

The enclosed statement from Mr. Richardson is therefore wholly without foundation in fact.

Mont. S. Reed
1st Lieut. Asst. Supt.
