July 20th 1866 Forwards application of one Washington Mays (colored) who desires transportation for his wife and three children, from Warrenton Warren Co to New Berne also encloses a recommendation of Geo W. Nason P.M. Respectfully forwarded to Bvt. Col C.A. Cilley, A.A.G. for the information of the Asst Comr with request that the transportation may be given, if possible the Freedman (Mays) has been extremely unfortunate in endeavoring to gain the restoration of his family, having sacrificed a good deal of time and the most of his means. The statements of Mr. Kilburn and Post Master Nason can be fully relied upon, they being men of the best of standing in this community. Hd Qrs Eastern Dist. July 13th 1866 W.H. Wiegel Major and Bvt. Col. and Supt. Respectfully referred to Col. A.G. Brady for his remarks , or the remarks of the Asst Supt, Sub Dist Warren. By Command of Bvt. Maj. Genl. Robinson Clinton A Cilley A.A. Genl. Hd Qrs. Asst Commr July 25th 1866 Respectfully returned to Col C.A. Cilley A.A.G. This Freedman Mays went to Warrenton but once to get his wife which was in May 1866 and then tried to get her by using abusive language and threats towards Rev. Mr. Perkinson with whom she was at work under contract. The contract was made of her own free will and accord, at the time she did not know whether her husband was dead or alive, not having heard from him for about four years. Having failed in this personal attempt to get his wife he made application to these Hd. Qrs. May 1th 1866. The case was (over) 153 fully investigated and to oblige Margaret (May's wife) Mr. Perkinson canceled the contract and Mays was informed that he could have his wife, having left his address at these Hd. Qrs. It seems that Mays has been employed for wages by the Government since the fall of 1862 until June 1865 and since which time has been earing good wages and no one to support but himself [[strikethrough]] I [[/strikethrough]] as he has made but one attempt by going to Warrenton for his wife, it could not have cost him more (at the very most) than his wages amounited to in two months and as he has been at work for about four years he ought to be abundantly able to pay the fare of his wife and children from Warrenton to New Berne, N.C.
