| Dr. Sir, |
| Your letter of the 11th has been recd. On
consultation with Col. Wright we determined that it would be improper
for us to make application to Genl. Mercer to release your negroes in
favor of our work. If Genl. Mercer will do so upon your application we
shall be glad to get the services of your hands. |
| Very Respectfully |
