H'^d Q^rs 119" U S C I
Lexington, Ky.
Sirs,

Testimony has been given at this office, concerning the case of one, Lennie (Colored Girl) formerly belonging to Mr Bryant, near this city.

Said girl claims to have left her master on strength of an order issued by Maj Gen'l Palmer freeing the wive's of C'^d Soldiers — She says that she is the wife of a colored Soldier of Capt Hall's Co. who left Camp Nelson last summer.

If she still claims a Colored soldier as her husband. the bearer of this, David Engles. cannot be interfered with by civil law: for harbering the Girl from the reason, that, said order of Genl Palmer

conflicts with civil law on that point.

If he is interfered with by the court. his case shall be represented to Gen'l Brisbin who is in this City immediately. Said Engle's wife had authority from the military at Camp Nelson. to remove the Sick girl. Amand. to her home until the first of May 1865. Amand went to Camp Nelson of her own accord and there got Sick.

I am sirs
