Respectfully forwarded to the Asst Comr The undersigned is deeply convinced of the necessity of applying stringent police regulations to the inhabitants of Hampton and similar localities in this district. At present nothing but military power will avail.  It is believed that such measures, if properly enforced, would command the approbation of all classes, and be a great blessing to the community.
