Captain

The Assistant Commissioner has been furnished by his Excellency Governor Worth with copies of a letter from Judge Shippe relating to one Jacob Carpenter, colored, whose arrest by the Sheriff of Cleveland Co. was resisted by your order, and of your letter to the Deputy Sheriff of Cleveland County.  He directs that you at once arrest Jacob Carpenter and turn him over to the Sheriff of Cleveland County - and further directs me to say that you have no authority to interfere in this way with a Civil process - and that such interference is calculated to prejudice the interests of the Freedmen.

I am, Capt.
Very respectfully
Your Obt. Servt.
