Macon Ga. Apl 9" '67 Respectfully returned I find no difficulty in making inspections without a servant. Such an appendage would be an incumbrance to me. I do not have time to look after his morale. Bvt. Maj. Genl. Avery is very seriously disabled, and I have no doubt needs the assistance of one. I should be glad if such an allowance could be made to him. But would not recommend it in any other case. [[signature]] F. D. Sewall [[/signature]] Col &c. [[?]] A. A. G.
