Genl:
I have just been visited at my office by a colored man named James Fernasda (so he pronounces it) who claims to have served in Co. E. 100 C.T. oranized at Nashville Tenn. His story is to the effect that his claim was allowed & sent to the Freedmens Bureau at Nashville [[illegible]]at the time and unable to get over

here he presumes that it must have been sent back to Washington.

He desires me to state that he now resides at No 293 Union St. Memphis where he can be found should funds be sent to this place for paying him.
