Post Head Quarters
Petersburg, Va
Jan 29 1866

Sir,
The prisoners turned over to you by Corporal Edgar, are charged with an aggravated assault upon a U.S. Officer firing upon him &c.  They were placed in my charge by the Agent of the Freedmen's Bureau here for safe keeping.  As the jail is insecure, and I am not furnished by Government with means to build a Guard house, they are sent forward at once.

Charges will follow at once.

I am Sir Respectfully
Your Obed Servt
A.J. Dallas
Capt 12 Inf

Lieut Hunter 12 Inf
In charge at Military Prisons
Richmond Va.
