Roseland, Octo: 20 1865 Colo: O. Brown, Sir, I enclose the papers in the case of Mrs. Watts, a most worthy lady, whose case I commend to your especial attention. Capt. Wilder does not say any thing about the protection of her fences & wood & timber. I would be pleased that your order, if any made, should include this point. One of the Chief grievances & complaints of our people is the wanton destruction in this regard, particularly after the freedmen learn that they are to be dispossessed after their leases are out. A general order on this subject would save much injury & loss & be most acceptable to the people. Mrs. Watts has no out-house at all, no stable, curing-house, wood house or kitchen. If she could be allowed to have possession of a portion the out-house it would greatly promote her comfort. With great Respect, Yr: obt: Servt: Jos: Segar P.S. Please answer at Washington -
