Major:

In reply to a communication from Major S N Clark A A I General dated Headquarters Asst Commrs. D. C. April 28th 1868, In relation to Lewis Gaskins, I have the honor to enclose Official action in the case.

Gaskins makes trouble wherever he is. A few days since I found it necessary to confine him in the Guard-house for insolent & abusive language & conduct.

He is in my opinion amply able to earn his own living.

I am Major
Very respectfully Your Obt Servt.
