Capt Barnes A.Q.M.

Capt

I resp. ask that transportation be furnished a colored servant now in my employ, to Columbia S.C.  I would state that her parents live in Columbia & that they are sufficiently able to support her, whereas if she remains here she could get no employment as she now has a baby of less than a month old & would consequently have to be supported by the Govment

Very resp
your obdt servt
