Genl

Enclosed please find a petition for a requisition upon the Governor of Louisiana for Charles Harris & Joseph Richardson two parties who broke jail on the 1^st inst

Both of these parties I have seen in Louisiana one of whom Joseph Richardson is confined in the Jail of Tangipahoa Parish at Amite City, the other is still at large and can I think be caught, but I cannot remove them from there without proper authority. Please authorize me to pay the costs accruing there, and send me the requisition so that I can make the proper arrangements to arrest them, One other prisoner escaped named Marvin Graham confined on a charge of Murder. He is 5 ft 6 inches high. dark complexion will weigh 140 lbs, had on ragged clothing. Supposed to be lurking about Franklinton Louisiana

Respectfully Yours
