Maj Gen Wager Swayne 
Montgomery, Ala. 

General,

I have the honor to ask that an Acting Asst. Quartermaster and Commissary of Subsistence for the Bureau be assigned to duty in my district as I find it impossible for me to do the whole duty without detriment to the other duties of the office. 

As Bvt. Major Jno Jones is now on duty with me I beg to Suggest his name for the place and to Suggest the issue of an order to that effect, by which I can turn over to him all Such Stores now on hand taking his receipt therefor. 

I am General
Most respectfully
Your Obt. Servant
