Capt Woodward
Provost Marshal Genl
A negro man named Montrose of yellow complexion about twenty two years of age, left my premises in Lexington about the 1st of February 1864 and entered into the Service of the United States employed as a teamster from Camp Nelson and as I am informed, and believe is still there and so imployed [sic]. I wish to have him ordered to be sent to the Provost Marshal stationed at Lexington, that he may be enlisted into the service of the United States as a soldier.
