Sir:

Your communication of 7th inst in relation to Transportation in the case of Maggie Mathews (freedgirl) has been received. The Asst Commissioner directs me to say that transportation can only be furnished in cases where it is absolutely necessary to relieve suffering, or where parties are unable through age or sickness from earning a support under present circumstances, and in being sent to other sections of the country can be properly provided for without additional expense to the Government.

Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
