Sir:
I am in receipt of your favor of the 16th ult recommending for a position in this Bureau Capt F.I. Myer.
I regret to say that it is impossible to comply with your request as the condition of the funds of the Bureau in this State will not at present permit of the employment of civilians. We depend entirely on Military details.
Should our financial condition improve hereafter as it may possibly I will give attention to your recommendation.
Very Respectfully,
