Colonel
I have the honor to inform you tap Dr. J. H. Bartholf A.A.J.U.S.A on duty with the Bureau at this post has left here for New York. He having been furnished with 20 days leave of absence to appear before the Medical Board at that place, and that as he was not relieved by any surgeon, we are now without medical aid, and as many freedmen appear at this office daily who are in need of medical treatment.  I would respectfully request that a surgeon be sent here to fill the vacancy during his absence.

I am Colonel
Very respectfully 
You obnt sevt
