General
I have the honor to request that the Horse and Cart now used by J. L. Roberts Supt. Capitol Hill Washington D.C. and for which I am responsible, be returned to this place, as I am greatly in need of means of transportation, to convey the dirt and filth from the village, which has been accumulating for the last two months

I am General
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
P. P. Bergevin
