I certify that I have carefully examined Capt. Jay. N. Skelton
Co: K: 58th Ill: Inf: whose sick furlough expires on the 28th inst: & find him totally unable to travel, so as to join his command by reason of a continuance of general debility & prostration induced by Typho Malarial fever, & I further certify that in my opinion, he will not be able to join his command for months, if at all. I would advise his retiring from the service.
