Sir:
I have the honor to report that there is in New Kent County a freed boy aged about seven (7) years - by name Walter, who has no relatives in the vicinity. As far as I can learn, the boy is an orphan – and as he is too small to earn his living I would request that he be admitted to the "Orphan Asylum for freed children"; or that if this is impossible some other disposition be made of him to relieve me of his support.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Servt
N. M. Brooks.
