that the civil authorities in the parishes

them in the discharge of their
duties, and l am compelled to appeal to
you to take charge OF the peace OF these
oar she's and use your forces to
that ead. If you respond favorabiy
% my request, 1 viii at oDce order the
-herif, and police forces to report to you
for orders.
Very respectfully,
Your Ohedjent servant,
