Pearisbury Giles Co Va
Novr 12s 1867.

Dear Capt:
I enclose for your perusal letter from the relatives of the old colored people at the Springs wherein they promise to take care of them.
These old people are very anxious to get to their children & get comfortable, before the winter kills them off.
Can you possibly send them on? Their names are Daniel Branch aged 111 & his brother Matthew Randall aged 98 yrs and Fanny Randall his wife aged about 50 to 70.
I expect, daily,  orders relieving me from duty in this County; When relieved, I shall go via Christiansburg Depot and hope to have the pleasure of meeting you there.
Yours Truly
Earle

Capt. Shaeffer
Christiansburg Va.
