Total is 15 persons: 3 under 12 years of age.

These people wish to go to their friends and relations in Texas, and Shreveport is the railroad station nearest the point they wish to reach. They seem to be worthy people and willing to work, but are utterly destitute. They think they will be able to do well in the region to which they ask transportation, and from personal inquiry and investigation as to character, I am satisfied that they are proper subjects of Government aid, and that they will be of no further expense to Government after reaching their destination.

Very Respectfully
Your Obe'd't Servant
