Feb 20, 1866 Capt Hamilton, Comd'r Post of Claiborne Captain; Garland Goode Esq the Agent of this Bureau at Claiborne requires a team 265 for the use of Freedmen in his District. We have extra reams at Demopolis and will furnish im one provided you will take charge of and receipt for it. It will be impossible to let one go to that distance from one of our Q.Ms. unless some officer stationed at Claiborne becomes responsible for it. If you can do this I will sand an order to Maj Pierce at Demopolis to make the transfer. Very Respectfully Your obt Servt A.A.G. Office Asst Coms'r. B.R.F. & A.L. Mont. Feb 21st 1866 Gen Williard [[Willard]] Warner State Senate Columbus Ohio. My dear Sir; I am in receipt of a note, forwarded and strongly endorsed by you, from H.S. Martin, Esq'r., State Senate, asking an appointment to duty in this Bureau for Dr Perkins Wallace, of Canton, Starke Co. Ohio. Just now, while the fate of the re-organization Bill is unsettled, it would not be wise for any one to incur a change of place to accept a position in the Bureau. In a few days however, I expect to know where we stand, and if you can vouch for your friend as a competent physician, we shall probably be able to give him a situation such as he desires, though the salary is limited to $100.00x per month.
