General 
I have the honor to request that transportation be provided Chinesa [?] (Freedwoman) and three children, aged 4, 6, and 8 years, from this place to Richmond Va. She is not an able colored woman, and is a Refugee from Richmond, her husband is living here and I believe she would not be dependent on this Government if she could reach her home She is now dependent on this Bureau for [[expenses?  rations?]] 

I Am General 
Very Respectfully
Your Most Obdt. Servant
