Head Quarters. Military Division of the Gulf.
New Orleans La, August 3d 1866.

Respectfully returned to the Adjutant General of the Army, with the remark that so many officers, belonging to Regiments within this Division, have already been assigned to duty with the Freedmen's Bureau, that I cannot approve of Lieutenant Hosmer's transfer to another Division, and request that he be permitted to remain with his regiment serving in this city where he is greatly needed.
