Assistant Commissioner to

General:                  
General Howard directs me to call your attention by mail, as I have done by telegraph so the letter of July 13th from its Treasury Department, relating to the Marine Hospital at Mobile, referred to you from this Office July 20th, and again September 9th. The Secretary of War requires an immediate report, and suggests that there has already been too much delay in this matter.
Very respectfully 
Your obedient servant
