Charlotte Co Va Jan 13th 1866
A different arrangement has been made for all the within names freedmen except Ed & Amy Gunter, Hanibal, Francis & Abraham - for these transportation is respectfully asked. The last named are dependent on the Gov't (Frances & Abraham being orphan children) Ed is a grown man. Amy & Hanibal are minors, but capable of earning more than a support, the mother of the three first named is a widow with four small children and must become a tax on the Gov't as your applicant is no longer able to maintain her. but if the said Amy, Ed & Hanibal can be transferred to my plantation Bolivar County Mississippi where she is now, not only she and her infant children but also Frances & Abraham her grand children - may be supported without any assistance from the Gov't. I can safely say that it will not only be to the interest of the Gov't but to the interest of humanity that these children should be transported to their mother to help support her in her old age & helpless and destitute condition - Enclosed will be found my written guarantee that the above named parties shall not be dependent on the Gov't after their arrival in Miss.
