Washington City June 19, 1865

May it please Your Excellency

On the 17th of June 1865 I committed to the jail in this city two colored women Mary Butler and Celona Custis, charged with stealing in the city of Richmond Va on or about the 7th May 1865, various articles of men and women's wearing apparel the property of a Mr. S Schwartz of your city. I deem it my duty to make known this fact to your Excellency as the prisoners have been committed in the usual manner to await your official requisition. The stolen articles in this case are valued at $1000

I have the honor to be 
Your Excellency's Obt Servt
