Sir,
The asst Comr directs, that at your earliest convenience you ascertain the ages of "John [[Westley? Westlay?]]" and "[[strikethrough]] Horace [[/strikethrough]] "Florence" children of Lucinda Casey (f W) supposed to be living 2 miles out of the Village of Victoria.

Transportation orders will be furnished Lucinda Casey and children (two) from Victoria to Elizabeth City  N.C. to go to her husband as soon as the ages of the children can be ascertained.

It is also desirable that she be informed of the fact, if she desires to avail herself of the opportunity of using the orders. She can be in readiness.
Very Respectfully
