Transcription Notes:
i transcribed a telegram that listed the names Freedmen and Land and Richmond, VA at the top earlier thats why thats my guess * This is the BUREAU OF FREEDMEN, REFUGEES AND ABANDONED LANDS... ALL of these letters are to or from that bureau. You'll see it all over the place, sometimes as BRF & AL or B.R.F. and A. Lands or a bunch of different ways.
R. M. Manly, 1st U.S. Colored Cavalry, Compiled Service ... American Missionary Association Archives,
