Jefferson Co. Geo. Nov 20th 65 Genl Tilson Ch'f Freedmens &c &c Dear Sir: There is on this place a woman & her two children (col'd) whose husband enlisted last year in the command of Genl Clif Davis for five years (I am told by all of the people on this place) she & both her children are totally helpless & her relations are all so helpless that they cannot give her the least assistance. As a United States soldiers wife I call upon you as a friend (though once your enemy) to assist her if it is in your power - I suppose if you are not able to do so yourself, you can refer this to some one else who is in charge of this matter, for I have my hands full & cannot help her. I hope to hear from you very soon & truly hope you will point out the means by which she can obtain the desired assistance Respectfully Chas D Stevens Address CD Stevens Louiusville, Jefferson Co. GA.
