Maj. Genl. O.O. Howard

General:
I have the honor to request that my leave of absence may be extended to thirty days.
My father is dead, and I have duties to attend to which will require more time; and render it necessary that I should make this application

I am General,
Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Servant
