Kendall Green Aug. 26. 1867.

Maj. J. M. Vandenburgh; 
Local Supt. Washington D.C.

Maj:

I have the honor to report my safe return to duty on the 24. inst. my leave of absence, not having expired until the close of the present month.

You will find the Roster of Employees, enclosed correct. The order for the discharge of these men though issued on the 3d inst. was not designed to take effect as I was expressly assured by the Ass't. Com'r until the date of my leave on the 12th ins't. The men were discharged however, on the morning of the 8th ins't.

Very Respectfully
Your Ob't Serv't
E. G. Townsend
Supt. &c.
