OFFICE MILITARY COMMISSIONER, FIFTH MILITARY DIVISION VIRGINIA, Williamsburg, Va., Decr 11th, 1869. Mr R M Manly Supt. Schools. B.R.F. & AL Richmond, Va. Dear sir The enclosed bill I paid for the benefit of William White, a negro; who, by a severe injury to his foot, had been disabled from earning a living for several months past, and was thereby, left with a large family in a starving condition. As my very limited income has been somewhat cramped by compliance with similar calls of charity. I thought I would send the bill to you, to see if there is any appropriation in the Bureau that could meet this object; and thereby, reimburse myself Very Respy, Your Obt Servt Madison Earle Capt U.S.A.
