Rock Island Post Hospitable
Jan. 17th 1866

I certify that I have carefully examined Capt. J. N. Skelton. Co K 58th Ill Infty Vol. now here on sick leave & whose extension of Furlough I heretofore recommended, and find that he is still unable to travel by reason of a continuance of his disability - Chronic diarrhea with cough & masked ague have so reduced his strength that he is not now, and will not be in my opinion fit for duty or able to join his regiment for 20 days and probably a longer period.
