Mr. ABNER NORCOM,
Lower Black River, New Hanover County, N. C. :
SIR: I understand that your neighborhood is suffering from the
inroads of guerrillas and stray robbers and thieves. I am asked to
permit you to organize for your own protection. Let those who have
taken the oath of allegiance, and are determined to aid in restoring the
authority of the United States, associate in their neighborhood for
mutual protection. Let them drive off or capture and deliver to this
place any Confederate officers attempting to drive them into the rebel
service. Let them arrest any guerrillas and robbers who come to
plunder or destroy private property, and deliver them here. If any
parties are sent out to forage they will go with written authority to
seize cattle or meat or grain and fodder. They will have no right to
take articles of wearing apparel or to insult or beat or kill the people.
Encourage the people to put in their crops to as great an extent as
possible, and in all ways to restore order, law, and devotion to the
Union. Should any Confederate forces appear anywhere in your
region, inform me promptly, and I will endeavor to protect you. If
you are hardly pressed come this way. You will of course understand
that should any advantage be taken of what is here said to impede
military operations or to aid in any way the Confederate forces, or
should you and your neighbors fail to render the Union forces any aid
in your power, you would all be instantly subjected to the severest vis-
itations. I am acting in good faith with the best wishes for all loyal
people and expect to be treated with the same faith and honor.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant
JOS. R. HAWLEY,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH,
Hilton Bead, 8. C., March 30, 1865.
Bvt. Maj. Gen. C. GROVER,
Commanding District of Savannah:
GENERAL: I am directed by the major-general commanding to direct
that Mrs. General Robert Anderson, now in Savannah, be permitted to
remain within our lines until you receive further instructions.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant
W. L. M. BURGER,
Assistant Adjutant- General.
