Office Assistant Commissioner, Bureau of Refugees, } Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, } Montgomery Ala., Sept. 28th 1865. Maj. F. H. Wilson A.A.G. Dept. of Alabama, Major I have the honor to request that a garrison of not less than one Company of Infantry be sent to Bladon Springs in Choctaw County, and a similar detail to Gosport Landing, in Clarke County. Major Miller has just returned from a tour through these Counties and represents the necessity as urgent for such a step, and his reasons are such as induce me to make the request. I would also ask that the Officers designated be men of intelligence and judgement to whom may be committed the transactions of the ordinary duties of this Office. I would further suggest that twelve or fifteen men of of each garrison be mounted. I shall take pleasure in furnishing you Maj. Miller's report, and will do so as copies can be obtained. Very Respectfully (over)
