Richmond Va: 
July 7 1865

Maj J.F. Miller U.S.A.

Maj:
My Father, a resident of Culpeper County Va: in 1862, refugeed a lot of coloured slaves to Guilford County N.C. Among the number are 10 or 12 children and their mothers are still with my father in Culpeper who desire their children should be returned to them and such was his promise to them when they were parted in 1862. I respectfully ask that you aid me in returning these children
