Bureau Refugees, Freedmen & Abandoned Lands, Office Claim Agent & Ass't Sup't, Sub-District of New Berne, New Berne, N.C., December 28th, 1866. Brvt Lieut Col. J.F. Chur Act. Asst. Adjt Genl Colonel, I have the honor to request that transportation be furnished "Susan Johnson" a Freedwoman aged 29 years from New Berne N.C. to Edenton N.C. She is unable to procure employment in this City and desires to return to her friends in the county a short distance from Edenton where she says she will be able to find employment on a plantation, and in my opinion will not become a charge upon the Government if sent to her former home and friends, but I have every reason to believe she will become so if she remains here Very Respectfully Your obedient Servant A. Coats 1st Lieut V.R.C. Asst Supt
