374 L.R. M. 201. 2d. Vol. 1866. Rec'd Back Ap'l 1st./66 Bureau RF & AL Office Supt 3rd Dist Richmond Va Mch 28th/66 H. S. Merrell Lt & Supt 301 Sam'l Carr Col'd Respty returned to Col. O. Brown Asst Com'r Va. It is not asked that this man be tried by the Freedmens Court, but, that he be arrested & sent here if he does not pay. If this cannot be done thro' the officers of the Bureau I shall feel compelled to request the services of the civil Police. I am informed, and believe that Carr has the means to pay this debt. (fraudulently contracted) and have no doubt he would settle it, upon arrest, without further expense or trouble. (Sgd) H. S.
