The Freedmen were greatly excited and were hardly restrained from a general riot, after seeing Mr Tucker so brutally beaten. They listened to me, however, when I appeared among them & dispersed for their homes. I am now taking affidavits in the matter & after completion shall make a full report of the affair to the Commanding General.

Very Respectfully Your obedt servt F.M. Kimball Lt. & Asst. Sub Asst. Comr.
