57 Richland Onslow Co NC July 30/66 Dillon Richard Captain Sir Having expended considerable amount of medicines in the treatment of indigent Freedmen of my County, and having learned that the government has provided Medical Attendance and Supplies for this class of persons, I have ventured to send you a list of such articles of medicines as I most need, and I ask you to try if possible to have them furnished me. I have certainly treated within the last fifteen months two hundred Cases of the above mentioned Class, and probably as many more of poor whites, without the hope of remuneration. And as my services have been and are still being given to them for nothing. It seems that it is not asking too much of the government that it should furnish me the supplies. I think I can safely state the number of cases for the next six months at seventy five, not having your supply table I have left the quantities blank in filling them please recollect our climate and the Season demand a larger proportion of Quinine than any other drug on the list Yours Respectfully &c (Sgd) C Duffy Jr M.D. [[line]] Bu R.F. & A.L.

He has administered quite an Amt. of medicines gratuitously to both White & Cold. Medicines is as necessary there as food. The distance is so far from here that the A.A. Surg on duty in this Sub.
