Richmond Va

Colonel

I wish to visit Richmond for the purpose of consultation with you upon many and varied subjects connected with the Freedmen in this District: the lack of stationery alone would prevent the exposition of these subjects in writing, and many of them may best be treated verbally.

I have therefore respectfully to request the necessary order for transportation from Staunton to Richmond and return

I am Colonel
Very Respectfully
Your obedt Servant
