and should it be desirable that those from this city should be sent at the same time I will detain her until to-morrow if the prisoners from here can be sent by the morning train. There are two or three insane prisoners who should be sent by this opportunity if possible. Please order duplicate parole-rolls to be sent with them and an ordinary roll to this office.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
