Colonel,
I have the honor to state that I have in charge a Freedman named Adaire Tuck who is insane - I have the papers executed by the Probate Court of Dallas - County - but the country cannot transport the party to the Insane Hospital at Tuscaloosa for want of means.

I would respectfully request that Transportation be furnished by the Government for this man and two attendants who will accompany him.

Your early attention will oblige.

Very Respectfully
Your obt. Servant
Geo Shorkly
1st Lieut 15" Infantry
Sub-Asst. Commissioner
