Lexington Va March 15th 1867 

Capt R.S. Lacey 
Supt. 7th Dist Va Captain
Enclosed I have the honor to forward a communication in behalf of an old freedman, which although not signed I believe from what I hear containing a true statement. I learn upon enquiry that the Insane Asylum at Staunton is full, and not another patient (either white or black) can be admitted I therefore respectfully request an order for his admission into, and transportation to, some hospital. His name is Washington Hill - aged 63 years - 
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Svt.
