Col 

Sir

I have the honor to report in the case of Mrs Hannah Fountaine of Richmond Va.  I have found the Daughter Sallie.  She is now in My possession awaiting your Orders for Transportation.

I saw Capt Emery Yesterday, who informed me that he has Authority to furnish transportation to Colored Freedmen if so can the same Authority be furnished me.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
