General;
I respectfully request that Charles C. Williams and Henry Orsay now clerks at a salary of $100 per month be appointed Agents with a salary of $125.00 per month, to date September 1st 68.
These young men have been Clerks in my office since their discharge from the service come four months since, and efficient, especially well educated and in my opinion eminently deserving. Both served during the War and were non commissioned officers in their Regt the 6th US Cavalry
