Clover Depot
Halifax Cty Va.
Oct: 29, 1867

Maj. Gen: J.M. Schofield

Dear Sir
I write to inform you that the freedmen of Halifax have no confidence in the fidelity of Lieut: Buffum. He voted against us by voting against our Candidates. He has gone over to the Conservatives & pursuaded Col. men on the day of election to do so. He is against the republican party & their principles & as such against us the Col. voters & citizens of Va. This I can prove:

I am very Respectfully Your
David Sims Col. & many others
