Captain. 
I have to report the following outrage upon a freedwoman committed near this place today.

James Strother and Joseph Follin, citizens of this vacinity, went to the house in which Harriet Follin (colored) lived, forcibly opened the door and attacted her, knocking her down with a club, and then proceeded to pitch her furniture out of doors, at the same time threatening to take her life if she said a word. These men are notorious rebels and were (I am told) with "Mosby" a portion of the time during the war. I have brought the case to the attention of Justice J.B. Bowman, who has promiced to issue warrants against the parties. 

Very Respectfully
Your Obed't. Serv't.
(Sigd) O.E. Hine
Ass't. Sup't.
