Sir

Your communication of the 17" inst asking as to debts incurred by the freedmen for Medical services rendered, is received.  In reply I have to say that if the employer did not agree to furnish his laborers with medical attention, or to become responsible for any debts which they might incur in that line, then the physician cannot hold said employer responsible.  If a physician attends freemen he can easily secure his pay by a mutual agreement between the employer and laborer to the effect that the former will be responsible for the debt about to be incurred by the latter.

Very Respectfully
