O.D. Krisman Esqr
Sub asst Commissioner
Bureau of R.F.A.L
Montgomery Alabama

Sir,
I have the honor respectfully to report, that the failure to report when turning over the Hospital at Garland to the County Authorities is due to no negligence of mine.  Immediately upon receiving the letter of General Swayne, I conferred with Judge Bolling who promised to call together the Board of County Commissioners in a few days.  Three times after that I waited upon him, and learned that he had not been able to affect a meeting.  He is now absent from town, so that I cannot tell whether the meeting has been held within the last two or three days, but think it has not been held, or he would have called upon me to be present and lay the matter before them.  I will urge him to the immediate performance of his duty in the matter, as soon as he returns.

Very Respectfully [[?]],
Saml. Gardner
Sub Asst Commissioner
