Dear Sir: I have frequent applications for information in reference to the marriage relations of Freedmen in Va - I am not quite well enough [[?]] in this matter - W.Va. you know passed a law legalizing the marrige of all persons who were living together at a certain time - so I know just what to do there but those who have just come from Va and those who live there I dont know just how to instruct them. Will you inform me what to do? 
Yours Very Rs
