Respectfully returned to Capt Alfred Hedberg (thro O.S.A.C. at Talladega Ala) It is unusual for officers of the Bureau to receive orders from other than competent Bureau officers. An order from Capt Hedberg to Mr. McGogy could not convey transportation with it to be paid by the Bureau Mr. McGogy has often asked that agents be assigned to his Sub Dist. as soon as practicable an officer will be sent to Jacksonville. The services of Capt Hedberg in the interest of the Freedmen are appreciated.
