Dear Sir.
Myself & wife came to Petersburg on the 4th of Oct. 1865. from Bloomsburg Pa. for the purpose of teaching the Freedmen, which business we have been employed in since that date. We are under the employ of the Am. Bap. Home Mission society No. 39. Park Row. N.Y. I wish to know if I am entitled to our transportation from my home to this city? Please let me hear by return mail.
Very Truly.
