Washington D.C. 
April 7th 1868 

Sir 
In consequence of the great distances between the different gangs of men employed on the Public works, and the necessary expences incurred by visiting each gang daily, the undersigned Genral time keeper, respectfully applies for an increase of salary, and hoping that you will favourably consider the same. 

I am yours truly. 
William Prinder

To Major J. V W. Vanderburgh
Local Superintendent
