Sub District of Demopolis
Office Bureau R.F. and A.L.
Demopolis Aug. 24. 1868

To Bret Brig Gen
T.H. Ruger
Asst Commr. Sir
At the beginning of present month I forwarded to you the resignation of my clerk M Drake, in order to accept a more desirable appointment to take effect on the 1st of September.
The month is now nearly closed and I am not informed yet of the action taken in relation thereto.
In the same letter I forward the name of J.M. Wilson, as a suitable person to be clerk for the four months that remains before the closing of this office. This office can scarcely be carried on without a clerk, but I am not apprised that I am to leave a clerk after the first of next month
Yours Respectfully
R A Wilson
Sub Asst Comr"
