Aug. 22, 1871. C. H. Prince, Esq. Postmaster, Augusta, Geo. Sir: I have received a letter dated Twiggs Co., and signed Wm. Gibson, who asks whether protection can be afforded against the Ku Klux. I enclose an answer to him and wish you to deliver it, if he calls at your office, or if you otherwise know him. He does not give a Post Office address, but says that he will soon be in Augusta, and desires an early reply. Very respectfully, A. T. Akerman, Attorney General.
Wm. Gibson
Geo.
