Montgomery Ala. 

Colonel
Mr. Wilda, my clerk, has received the offer of a position in Office of General Inspector of Registration and Bureau of Civil Affairs at Atlanta Ga. and has not as yet decided whether he will accept it or not. Should he do so, will you please authorize me to employ Ex - Capt S A. Reed Student of law in Iowa. Capt Reed was a very efficient officer in the Army and served for some times as Judge Advocate of Gen'l Hawkins Division of colored Troops, which with his knowledge of the law would enable him to be very usefull. With your consent - if the vacancy should occur - I will telegraph him to come at once.

I am Colonel
Very Respectfully
Your obd't serv't
H. F. McGogy
Sub Asst. Commssr.
