General
I have the honor to forward enclosed statement of compliant made by David Canada, colored of Halifax Co. through W.H.H. Stowell A.S.A. Com with the remark that I know nothing of the facts in this case but as to David Canada's general character I have always heard him spoken of by citizens of Halifax Co as an orderly respectable man whose public speeches were characterized by absence of language calibrated to create trouble between citizens and freedmen

I am General
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
Thos P Jackson
Sub Asst Com. 11th Sub Dist Va
