| Colonel, |
| I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of
your letter of 24th inst., giving copy of Receipt signed by me in favor
of James Waugh of Morgan County. The team was impressed by my direction
under the order of Maj Gen T. J. Jackson, when on the march to Hancock &
put in the train. |
| A few days after, on the return from
opposite Hancock, when at Bath, upon the application of Mr. Waugh's
wife, I gave the receipt. I ascertained the value of the team from my
own men, ho had seen it, & was careful not to over value it, as I was
informed by Mr. Waughs Brother in law, who Genl Jackson directed me to
take as authority, that Mr Waugh had been extending some favors to the
federal forces, who were occupying Bath, at the time Gen Jackson entered
Morgan Co. |
| The team was kept in my service for some
time & from the information I now have was turned over with a number of
other horses in May last to Capt W S Wood AQM. |
| Very respfy |
| Your obdt Servt |
