Colonel I am directed by the Acting Asst Commissioner to inform you that there is now confined in Greensboro jail one Robt Davis (Col'd) under sentence of death for burglary whose case has been a subject of interest to the Bureau. [[Footnote 1]] The Executive has from time to time respited him and seemed disposed to turn him over to the Bureau provided they remove him from the State which it is disposed to do, if you should find any opportunity of including him in any set of laborers for the South West please inform these Hd Qrs - so that arrangements can be made. It may be proper to add that he is a young man and bore a good character before the commission of the crime for which he now stands convicted and which was committed as alleged through the influence of some bad white women with whom he had become entangled.
