A.D.C. & A.A.A.G Bu R.F and AL Vicksburg Miss Sir There arrived here last evening from Vicksburg via So R.R (5) Five Freed Women en route to Hospital at Lauderdale three of them are Crazy one with one Leg and one had given birth to a child on the train. The last mentioned being very sick I called in the service of a Doctor. She is an entire Stranger here and it will be necessary to find some one to take care of her, besides the attention of a Physician. Having no hospital here I put them in charge of some Freedmen until the person who had them in charge shall arrive I desire to know if the expenses necessarily incurred in taking care of these persons will be paid by the Bureau four of them will undoubtedly leave here to night but the one that was confined will not be able to be moved for two weeks.
