Captain,
I see from the Papers that an appropriation has been made by Congress to carry out the Freedman's Bureau and I was informed by Genl Gregory thro you as his Executive Officer that my application would not be forgotten if any appointments are yet to be made. I would most respectfully ask that you call your attention of Genl Gregory's Successor to my application or return the Same to me So I may forward the Same to Genl Gregory. through Genl Hamilton whose recommendation is upon the Papers.
Very Respectfully,
Wm D Price
