Supt Bureau R F & A L 2nd Dist Va

Sir

I have the honor to call your attention to the enclosed Communication from Mr Goode, and to ask for instructions how to proceed in the matter.  The boy Horace has been regularly indentured to Mr Goode (A Copy of the indentures are on file in this office approved by Capt S Barnes) by Lieut Col Powell, dated May 11th 1866.  I respectfully suggest that the boy Horace and his brother be arrested and sent back to this County, to be dealt with according to law.  Such action would have A good effect with both Whites and Blacks in this County.

Verry Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
Robert Cullen Lieut VRC
Asst Superintendent
