Dear Sir

Some time ago there was a man by the name of Toby living at Chatawa five miles below here, who was arrested as being disloyal. He went to Jackson received his papers to pass the lines, and for some reason not known to me, he has returned, and is now going about as formerly, and refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy.

Mr William G. Davis supervisor of the New Orleans and Jackson Rail Road, will make an affadavit, that he heard Toby say publickly, that he would not take the oath. and he has not done so from all that I can learn, nor will he join any organization for the protection of the south.

Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Svt

Eugene M. Bee
