Dear Malcom
Lou tells me that you will start in the morning for Richmond -, I wish you to go with Lou to the Provost Marshall and see that he gets transportation to Warrenton if the cars are running there, if not, to Bristoe Station. Do what you can for them, & they will be of service to us best if they reach this parish
R [[?]]

It will only be necessary for you to state that the negros are on their way home in order to secure transportation for them  I will be in Warrenton in a day or two.
