Respectfully returned with the information that the within named Freedwoman Lavina Hill is not at present a dependent upon the Govt but owing to her continued ill health she is unable to obtain permanent employment, and is at times very much in need. She is represented as a very worthy woman and the application for Transportation if granted would be well bestowed.

I have the honor to refer this letter to you with explanation
When those Insane Women came to the hospital we had no place to put them, and Lt White would or said he could not provide a place for them. I saw Mr Carroll who said he would rent us a house

the Lt White went with me to Mr. C's and rented the house  a day or so before I left Lt White came to Dr Neumans quarters and asked our advice about the amount of rent Mr. C. wanted for the house. we advised him to pay it. I do not think it is right that Mr. C should lose the rent or that I should pay it. I was to the expense of fixing it up with my own employees  Lt. White furnished the lumber 
I am Major your humble & Obt. Sert.
