Head Quarters Department of the Potomac, 
Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and A. Lands. 
Richmond, Va., March 9th 1867. 

To Genl Brown,
I mention to you the other day, the request, of the Freedmen on my plantation, who propose to me, to see, if you or your department did or did not have some Poor Mules or Horses, unfit for sale at present, that they would take three or four, work them in moderation & by fall (if sound) try and get them fat & slick, ready for market, and if the price was not there, (two large) & they could make a good crop, they might be able to buy them, if they would be for sale. If there are such I would like to know now, that I may be able to tell them on my place
