DISTRICT OF MARYLAND AND DELAWARE.

Baltimore, February 27th 1868

Maj. Genl. O.O. Howard
com'r, &c. Washington D.C.

Sir,
I respectfully enclose papers presented by Mr Hildreth, which I suppose are offered in consequence of your communication of Feb. 15th directing his final papers not to be paid until he gave satisfactory evidence of the fidelity of his past work. I do not suppose he can replace the lost papers and therefore submit the case whether he will be discharged with or without pay.

I am very respectfully
Your obt sv't
