General
Allow me to introduce to you the bearer W.H. Hunt Esq. He visits Richmond and Washington, partly at my request to confer with Colonel Brown and yourself in regard to the plan of taking to Florida such families as wish to go and have no reliable homes here.

He has given much attention to the subject, has been engaged largely in lumbering and mercantile business and he assures me he can organise a large responsible company to give employment to large numbers at fair rates if the Govt will take them out and give them a start.

I am Genl very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
(Signed) C.B. Wilder
