Statement of Mary Dines Freedwoman 345. 10th St. Washington DC

My son William Dines aged 26 or 27 left this City in July last for Selma, Alabama. I understand he had been working there in a Brick Yard, was taken sick sent to a Hospital where he died and was buried by the Freedmens Bureau 

I would request the Bureau in this city ascertaining from the Agent of the Bureau in Selma whether this statement is correct or not or get any information they can of him for me
