You are requested to inform this office whether Dr Walton was the former owner of this woman Sabra & her 5 children. If he was no attention will he paid to the Acc't brought by him against her, as it is merely an act of generosity on the part of the Bureau to relieve him of a charge which, but for his absolute poverty, he would have been otherwise required to have provided for,

Respectfully
