Headquarters Superintendent, Ninth District, Va.
Fort Monroe, Va., April 13th 1866

Colonel O. Brown
Asst. Commissioner

Colonel;

I have the honor to request that the Superintendents of Districts in this State may be instructed to send requisitions for labor which they may have, or can get, and are unable to fill, to this office.

i think this District can supply a large number of laborers to those which are underpopulated with negroes.

I am Sir
With Great Respect
Your Obdt Servt
Saml C Armstrong
Supt 9th Dist. Va.
