Captain. 
I have the honor to present for information the case of Thomas Wagstaff, a freedman. This man has lost his right foot from effects of the frost, is without money or friends for support. I think he is a steady and, if in his power to be, industrious man. A colored man is treating his wound and I have agreed to pay $4.00 pr. mo. for his support. Can he be sent to Farmsville or elsewhere and when will transportation be furnished - He might be of service as doorkeeper.
