Jacksonville Fla.
Sept. 5th 1865

Maj. Genl O.O. Howard
Comm. Bureau Reffugees &c

General
I made application today to Genl. Foster for a Q.M. C.S. & A.A.G. - copy inclosed- He had informed me that he was so limited in officers that it was with great difficulty he could get along with his own work & he requested the application be made in form.

I wish you would do me the kindness to urge the matter through at once. The original application will go up and the same time with this. I hope Genl. Meigs & the Com. Genl. will nominate men to report to me without delay. I need the men very much.
