Dear Sir

Your favor of the 4^th inst is to hand contents notes—Col M^cAfee is absent on official business in Virginia—We are sorry that we do not feel authorized to grant you the transportation desired—WE are compelled to follow our instructions which do not allow us to grant free tickets in such cases as you mention—I presume however by offering your services as a nurse generally for the hospital in Virginia, the Governor would afford you the ticket desired,

Very respty yr &c
Lelhims
