Office, Acty. Asst. Commt, State of Georgia,
Augusta, Ga., December 1st, 1865

General:
I have the honor to represent that owing to the large number of white troops mustered, out in this Department it is found impossible to obtain a detailed man for clerk in this office, Tho clerk heretofore employed has just been mustered out. I respectfully request authority to employ one citizen clerk. I can secure a good competent clerk for one hundred dollars ($100.00) pr month. I shall have sufficient funds in my hands to pay him.

I am General.
Very Respectfully,
Your Obt. Servant.
