[[consideration]] tion of our petition viz. What the present Superintendent of Freedmens Affairs for this district, Capt Wilder may be removed and his place be supplied by one whom we can respect as a man and confide in as a gentleman. We pray that a position so important to the prosperity of our people may be filled by one who will not by his churlishness and cruelty outrage every good impulse of our natures. That our sincere desires to prove ourselves good citizens, may not be called by exhibitions which repel from our hearts all kindness, and every good emotion, and arouse our indignant feelings to actual bitterness. Let us not be subjected to one who under cover of an Organization based upon Christian and National philanthropy, seems to us, bent only on his own self aggrandizement, and who in his dealing with white citizens and colored, people, appears to us a stranger to every principle of refinement, of justice, and of humanity. As your petitioners will ever pray for. Wm S. Howard Clerk of Co: Court Elizabeth City County Wm Anderson W. P. Phillips Mr. W. Roche I.J. Z Braun Robert Tompkins I.J. Wm Lowry, P. I. P. E. C.
