Respectfully forwarded to Maj Gen O O Howard, Com'r &c Washington D. C. Application was made for the appointment of Mr. Gale as Agent which was returned stating that an officer would be asked, for for this vacancy. Mr. Claus the former Agent at that place (Greensboro Ala) had been assaulted and compelled to leave that place and the need of an Agent there induced Lieut Bennett to employ Mr. Gale which action was approved by the Asst Comm. There has been no officer to assign to that place, I would therefore most respectfully request that he be appointed Agent at a salary of One Hundred dollars ($100.00) per month to date Feby 17 1868 or that authority be given for payment for his services rendered up to May 1st 1868. He is still on duty.
