Respty returned to Genl S. C. Armstrong Supt

The trouble has heretofore been in getting the freedmen willing to go. 
If Genl S. C. Armstrong will get up companies of fifties or one hundred's that are willing to go the Asst Comr will at once send them to persons who are anxious to employ them.

Respty forwarded. Much personal attention and undue partiality has been shown by the undersigned to the author of this complaint or his agents, and every effort made to protect his property. Capt Wilder did the same.
