ALS. On letterhead of the State of Tennessee, Adjutant General's Office. Writes about his investigation of Capt. Rickman and his company stationed 4 or 5 miles from Tullahoma, Tennessee. Reports charges are exaggerated. Discusses extensively the killing, while trying to escape arrest, of a James Brown, who had bragged of having belonged in the war to a company of bushwhackers commanded by one Joe Rodgers. Says local opposition is so strong in the area that a union man, or personas who were connected with the Federal Army, cannon safely and peaceably live there. (See below June 7, 1867).
