Selma Ala Dec 24th 1866

Johnson Robert

States that some months ago he made an effort to get particulars of charges and specifications made against him by Maj Ogilby but did not suceed & asks Lieut Shorkley to state his opinion of the charges &c on this paper.

Head Quarters Post of Selma
Selma Ala, Jan 8th 1867

From the best information that i can get I am led to believe that Major Ogilby was deceived and that there was nothing in the conduct of Doctor Johnson while in the employ of the Bureau at the place that could possibly lead to this charge made against him.

Geo. Shorkley
1st Lieut. 15th U.S. Inf.
Comd'g and Supt. Bu. of R F & A.L.
