Respty returned to Col. O. Brown Asst Com'r Richmond Va, I hold that this Bureau has no moral or political right to order, and cause to be detained the children of colored people who can take care of themselves. I stated in my letter that Mrs King could take care of her child.
I think my statement as worthy of credence as the testimony of the Rebel of Gates County.
No black person dares to go to Gates Co after their children if they should one. Mr Langston & Dr Savage
