Sir
I have the honor to request that by "Special Orders" from Bu Hd Qrts. I may be ordered to visit any part of my District that in my judgement necessity requires.
I make this request from the fact that I have received in the last two days eleven applications to visit plantations in all part of this District.
From the overflow of the River and the back water it is almost an impossibility to get through the country. to give you an idea. I visited a plantation this morning which is three miles from the Court House. to get to it I was compelled to around through the big Prairie Eight Miles.
