Colonel 
I have the honor to request that Transportation be furnished from this City to Margarettsville Northhampton County N. C. on the S & R R R, for Silva Ray, a sick and dependent Freedwoman, to enable her to reach her friends. This womans Son was a Soldier in the 16^th U. S. C. T. and died in the service, and I believe her case to be a worthy one.

I Am Colonel
Very Respectfully
Your Obed^t Servant
