Captain,
I have the honor respectfully to request transportation for Catherine Glasgow col' to Fredericksburg Va en route to Richmond Court House, Richmond Co Va

This woman was sold into Alabama about twenty years ago. She received a letter about 3 weeks ago from her two daughters who reside at Richmond C.H. stating they would take care of her if she could get to them, she has paid her fare to this city and cannot proceed further for want of funds  She is about 70 years old and if she remains here will become dependent upon the Bureau for support

Very respectfully 
Your Ob Servant
