Richmond Medical College
Infirmary, 
Richmond Va
July 29 1869

Genl O. O. Howard
Comr Freedmans Bureau
Washington D. C

As the time for the discontinuance of the Freedmans Bureau has nearly, or quite, arrived, I have taken the liberty to enquire what you design to do with the inmates of the Hospital at this place.

I think from the position I occupy I could take care of them (or at least a large portion) at the above Institution, at perhaps not more expense to the government than they are now costing where the sick would have the supervision, of all the medical faculty of the college infirmary.

Should you wish to make any disposition in this direction please communicate with me on the subject

Respectfully yours
Saml. C. White
