Vienna, Va.
April 4th 1867

Capt. S.P. Lee,
Supt 10th District, Virginia
Alexandria, Va.
Capt.
I have the honor to apply for permission to change my Headquarters from my present position to Falls Church, for the following reasons: 
I find it impossible, owing to the scarcity of houses in this vicinity, to hire or room for an office, or to obtain a boarding place.
I shall be nearer the different schools, and be able to perform my duties with more facility in every way, as the difficulties existing here will not inconvenience me at Falls Church. 
I am, Captain, 
Very Respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Wm Sheilds 
2d Lieut. 44th U.S. Inft'y, &
Supt. Fairfax County.
