Major:
In compliance with instructions to investigate the statement of R.F. Moore in that he is and has been a Union man, and that he has been injured to the amount of $400.00 by a [[?]] who obtained on order from the Board of Police to change the course of a road, thus throwing him from the Public Highway
I have the honor to report, that upon investigation I found that the "Old Road" ran through the land of Mr Reed and the "New Road" runs between the land of Mr. Reed and Mr. Wiseman - the latter was formaly compelled to haul his Crops about 1/4 mile, which is now saved. There are the two Gentlemen that are very much interested in the roads being changed.
Mr Moore will be put to much inconvenience if the actions of the Board of Police is allowed to remain in effect.
