I am having a hard time transcribing the following document from the Provost 2 or more citizens files, #21568. Does anyone know the story? Who was Doc Heart, or as it was found on the cover sheet, "Dock Hart". I will email a copy of what I have to anyone interested.

Sugar Loaf Marion Ark May 25/65
Maj Genl [San ]
Sir.
I will in accordance with your request give you a list of the names of the men that Dr. Heart murdered in this county last winter. Three of the Lardner boys, Darlwoods Thomas Timothy, who they scalped who were confederate soldiers belonging to my command. Also Jack Williams & a man by the [name] of Brown & Adams who were private citizens at home attending to their ordinary avocations. John Gilford threatens to kill old W Estis of Yellville if ever he could ketch him, which we all know is a good ordinary citizen. They also drove out all the stock they could find in Marion & Carrol Counties. The above facts can all be proven by the best citizens of these counties.
Respectfully
J A Schnabel, Lt Col Comd Batt
