Office, Supt. Dist. of Selma Bureau R.F. and A.L. Selma Alabama, August 28, 1866 Bvt. Maj O.D. Kinsman A.A.G. Major: I have the honor to report that I have given Transportation Order No. 63 to Mr Cornelius Carroll, ordering transportation for himself and wife from Selma, Ala. to Meridian Miss. This man is a resident of Ohio, and came to this state some months since. On account of an affection of the brain, he is unable to work in this climate. He has no money nor friends. The only thing the City could do in the matter was to allow the City Physician to tend on the man, and the Physician certified that he will never be able to work here. In view of these facts, I have given the order for transportation as above. Very Respectfully Your Obedient Svt. Geo Shorkley Lieut. 15th U.S. Infty. Supt.
