On or about the 1st of April 1865 I was seperated from my husband by the U.S. government and have not heard from him since  His name is John Patterson, he was kept to work in Morehead City, on the government wharf, under a man named Davison [[Shaipo?]], and I was sent to Savannah, in this State.  I also left with my husband, my son in law Kaid Meloy, whose wife Adeline Meloy is with me now.

I ask that you be kind enough to aid me to find my relatives.

I am very respectfully
Martha her X mark Patterson.
