Bureau R.F. & A Lands
9th Dist. Dept. of Potomac
Winchester Va. Dec. 17. 1866

Dr. G.C Douglass
Bedford Pa.

Doctor
I would state in reply to your letter of Dec. 5th. that I received a communication from you bearing date of Jany 30th 1866 in which you state that you have received no blanks or instructions in regard to your duties as Medical Officer at Harpers Ferry.

In reply to that communication I informed you what reports were required, but was unable to furnish the necessary blanks. I am unable to make any statement in regard to the manner in which you performed your duties while in the service of the Bureau, as I was on duty here only five days before the annulment of your contract. Capt. W.S. How
