Office Freedmens Bureau
Holly Springs Miss.
October 23rd 1865

Lieut. E. Bamberger
A A A Gen. F Bureau
Northern Dist. Miss.

Sir
I am told by Capt. Wilson, A. J. Gen. for this Sub Dist. that Mr. Austin is not needed at Oxford, and as they propose removing the garrison from this place I would like very much to have him sent here. I would prefer to have him and the Mr. Weed I asked for a few days ago (in a private not to Col. Donelson) instead of the Garrison. I think it would be better for the Bureau and for the people.

Very Respectfully
