Gov A Ames,
Jackson Miss.

Dear sir,

Yours of the 22^nd,, to hand—a crowd of white men, did order P. H. Green to leave the county. Green did not or could not leave immediatly, but lay in the woods for two or three days. When a crowd variously estimated at from 60 to 100 white men, armed as I have been informed with pistols, surrounded the woods in the day time in the neighborhood of where Green lived & caught him and ordered him to take his family and leave. I understand the crowd paid his way to Meridian. The charge againts him was buying stolen cotton for a white man, the crowd escorted Green part of the way to the Depot, Green made his escape from them.

Your Very Respectly
