If the parties for whom you make the application are in a suffering condition & can be provided for at Rome, which seems rather improbable as the northern is the most destitute portion of the State, then transportation will be given from the nearest point on the Rail-road from where they are now located to Rome as requested_ Very Respectfully Your Obt Servt Theo F.
