Forty-First Congress U.S. House of Representatives, 
Washington, D.C. Jan 2 1871

Genl. O.O. Howard
Freedmans Bureau
General,
It has been represented to me that the disbursing officer of the Freedmens Bureau at Memphis has resigned and the enclosed paper has been sent to me asking for the appointment of Gen. W.H. Morgan. If there is any such vacancy to be filled you will observe that the recommendations of Genl Morgan are ample to justify his appointment.
