Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands Headquarters [[strikethrough]] Sub-District New Kent and Charles City Counties, [[/strikethrough]] Fifth Division, Fifth Sub District, Va. New Kent C. H., Va., June 6th 1867 S. C. Armstrong Ag't. 5th Sub Dist Va. Fort Monroe Va. 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. Capt V.R.C. A.S.A.C.
