Richard Heathe Esq

Dear Sir
Enclosed I send you a paper from the Freedmens Bureau requesting Transportation for Julia & Mary Formerly slaves of Mr Shiver The paper explains its Self Rosa the mother of those girls was my slave sir now in my employment. The object of this is to request you to lend a helping hand to Mary & Julia to get requisite traveling papers to come on as Rosa is very anxious to have them with her at this place. She requests you to say to them to sell all heavy Baggage only retaining their Bed clothes & wearing apparel. All this is done at her urgent request & with due respect to the former owners of the two women, I am respectfully Sir
Yours &c
