Col Carse stationed at Danville, is your subordinate, & if so, I have been informed that it is my privilege, to report to you the action which Col Carse has, as I believe improperly taken, in a case between myself & some freed negroes. 
The case is this, that I had bound to me on the 6th of July 1865, 4 orphan freed children, by Col R McCool at Danville, I being then as now a citizen of Halifax Cty, & on the 15th of last month, two freedmen respectively named, Scott Royall & Chesley Stamps, not citizens of Pittsylvania, nor even of Va, but of N. Carolina the reputed has bonds of the two elder sisters, of the children bound to me, applied to Col Carse to release these apprentices,
