Evergreen Apl 7th 1866
Gen Wager Swayne
Montgomery, Ala
Dear Sir
When I last had an interview with you I left a letter for Gov Parsons asking the privalidge of appropriating one of the houses belonging to the State of Ala at Garland  to the use of the Freedmens home of this county that the want of building material prevented my fixing up as I would wish to do and the time elapsed since I made the application has embarrassed me the more as I have now three families without houses and more applicants for houses soon
Will you do me the favor of calling Gov Pattons attention to my application as it would relieve to some extent the embarrassment by which I am now surrounded and provide homes for some of the indigent and no loss to the State.  Respectfully yours Y M Rubb
Asst Supt Freedmen Conecuh C
