HEAD QUARTERS, ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER.
Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands,
DISTRICT OF MARYLAND AND DELAWARE

Baltimore, March 31st 1868

General
Your communication of the 13th inst
is at hand, and in compliance therewith I have to make the following report on the charges prefered against Maj Genl E.M. Gregory by C. W. Hildreth late clerk
in the claims Division of this District.

I have carefully read the charges and
specifications and do unhesitatingly pronounce them false, and glaring misrepresentations.

The specification to the first charge
represents that a clerk was suddenly placed in charge of the claims Division, when the fact is that said clerk had been on duty in that Division for months, and was so
employed when I was assigned to duty in this District
