Respectfully returned to the Ass't Comr inviting attention to endorsement of Capt C.B. Wilder late Supt of this Dist His statement may be relied upon. Mr Vaughns letter is not only very bad in its spirit but also untruthful. His statement in relation to the present difficulty of ascertaining whether he will at the end of this year get full and undisturbed possession of his property is of that character. The courts will use every means of securing him his dues from the freedmen. I have been here since March last but have not seen Mr. Vaughn.
