Elmira Mch 23, 1867

Gen Howard, Commissioner &c

Dr Sir - Enclosed you find subpoena for Capt Chandler, who is stationed at Winchester Va. in your Dept. I wish you would do me the favor to have the same served on him at your earliest convenience, and order him here by leave on that time, as it is of the utmost importance to the People that he should attend here as such witness. We are unable to furnish proof sufficient to convict without his testimony, and the case must then be tried, and cannot be without his evidence.

Yours Respectfully
E F Babcock
Dist Atty
