Beaufort S.C. June 11th 1865

General:
I have the honor to request that an officer of integrity and business tact may be detailed to report to me to act as receiver of all monies which should accrue to the Bureau in this Department to aid in collecting and act as treasurer for the same, and to turn over to my disbursing officer such amounts as are necessary to meet current expenses.

I would respectfully recommend that an Assistant Quartermaster be selected.

I am very respectfully
Your Obdt. Servant.
