Washington, April 22 1867

Bvt Brig. Genl O. Brown,
Assistant Commissioner &c
Richmond Virginia,

General,
Mrs. Royster, two Misses Price, Miss Royster and two children, are now in a destitute condition in Richmond. Please transport them as loyal refugees to Washington City where they will not be any further expense to the Government. Visit the family in person, and make your own recommendations according to circumstances, if this is not satisfactory.

Very truly yours
O. O. Howard
Major General, Commissioner &c
