Sub Asst Com'r
B.R.F. and A. Lands.
Demopolis Ala,

Sir,
I have the honor to request you to cause the arrest of a freedman named Fortame who is reputed to be in Livingston Ala. This freedman can be apprehended more readily as he has been shot through one of his arms (I think the right) recently. A charge of horse stealing was prefered against him here, and last Friday morning he very misteriously dissapeared before the preliminary examination took place. I am inclined to think the freedman innocent, and that being threatened he left to avoid further danger. the civil authorities here manifested no interest whatever in the matter, these facts have induced me to take action in the case, the necessity for immediate action prevents me from forwarding this through proper channels,

Vry Respectfuly
A. Thomas
