Respectfully returned to A.A. Metzner, S.A.C. B.R.F. & A.L. San Augustine, Texas, for completion of the [[?]] [[?]] account, to enable Dr Roberts, to procure payment. The affidavits of the enlisted men treated, are deficient in failing to state that the "services rendered, were necessary". This deficiency can be supplied by your certificate, which should also state that "the men were employed at the time in the exclusive service of the Freedmen's Bureau," if such was the fact. The receipt of the physician should also be approved and signed by him. A pencil form of the addition to be made to each paper is enclosed for your guidance. Accounts must be presented in duplicate. Therefore, after completion of each of the within, according to pencil form, a duplicate of the same must be prepared. If it is seen impracticable to obtain [[?]] affidavits of the men, the same may be [[?]] on the duplicates, and certified by the Sub. Asst. Comr. as true copies. The accompanying Amnesty Oath must be subscribed, before proper authority. If taken before a clerk of Court his seal of Office must be placed upon the oath.

These papers to be returned to this Office.
