and shall soon have nearly all the absolutely helpless on these two farms in the five Counties on this side James River.
 
We shall of course then need the labors of a Medical Officer at these two farms more than anywhere else in the two Counties.
 
In conversation with Dr. Green the other day I found he did not relish the idea of making his Hd Qurs at either of these farms but said he would visit the farms once a week to attend the sick if a good strong horse was provided.  I wish to have the matter brought to the attention of Dr. D.E Lumater simply that the places may be properly provided for and that he may be able to arrange matters so as to secure Medical Attendance to the sick of these two places. I am  not sure that one officer can attend to the cities of Norfolk & Portsmouth and these two places in addition so widely separated from them. I leave the  matter in your hands to bring before the Medical Director of the Bureau for this state and for any orders you have to give me modifying my plans.
