Canton Miss. Aug. 1^st. 1866—

Hon. B. G. Humphries;
Jackson Miss;

Governor;

Yours of date yesterday was rec^d. this morning. The existence of the organization you allude to was ascertained at the last term of our Circuit Court. March/66— It is certainly most desirable that the outlaws should be arrested & brought to justice.

If parties complaining will furnish tangible matter against any officer of the law, I shall, of course, promptly institute & prosecute proceedings against the person shown to be in default.

Most respectfully your servant—

S. S. Calhoun
Dist. Atty. 5^th. J.D. Miss.
