General, 

I have the honor to state that the forwarding of applications for "Leaves of Absence" through military channels, to Maj. Genl Thomas Comdg this Dept. whose Head Quarters have been moved to Louisville, Ky. will be attended with much delay and inconvenience.  I respectfully ask for authority to grant "Leaves of Absence", not exceeding twenty (20) days, to Officers on duty in the Bureau in this State who are not serving with troops.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
Davis Tillson
Bvt Maj Genl and 
Asst Com'r
