Applies for a clerk to be permanently assigned to duty in this office

Bureau R.F & AL.
Hd. Qrs. Supt So. Dist N.C.
Wilmington Feby 20th 1866

Respectfully forwarded to Col. E. Whittlesey Asst Commr. N.C. approved.

The nature and amount of the business for the asst Supt. of the Sub Dist of Wilmington require the assistance of a clerk. There is probably more business brought before the officer in charge of this Sub Dist than before any other there

I think the character of the Bureau often suffers on account of the impossibility of one officer unassisted attending promptly to all the interests and complaints brought before him.
