O.J Andrews Esq
Teacher
Cleveland Tenn.

Sir

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 5th
August and may. I very much regret that it will be impossible for this Bureau to furnish you transportation from Cleveland Tenn to New York as you request, as existing orders discontinued the furnishing of transportation in kind to teachers &c &c on the 20th day of March 1869.
Very Respectfully 
Your obedient servant 
EC Compton 
Bvt Lt Col US Army
Supt of Education
