Frankfort June 23rd "65 Governor

The bearer Ned Jones, a freed man of colour, I have known well for many years and hesitate not in saying, he is as reliable, honest and correct as any freeman in our, or any other City- He informs me that he has presented a claim to your Excellency for damages done him by the Ky. Soldiers in burning the plank fencing and posts which enclosed his yard and garden- I saw the soldiers myself takeing the plank off the fence and cutting down the posts for firewood, and admonished them for it, without avail.

I hope your Excellency will cause compensation to be made him on presenting proper vouchers for the same-

Your Excellency mo. obt servt. J. Dudley
