Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, 
HEADQUARTERS 11TH SUB-DISTRICT VIRGINIA, 
Farmville, Va., Dec 23 - 1867. 

My Dear General
I beg to request that if it is in contemplation to appoint any Civilian Agents for Bureau purposes, that I be appointed.

I am just recovering from a severe attack of Neuralgia and am yet under the influence of quinine &c

I duly regret General that Gen Grant imagines he is promoting the interests of the country by his wholesal slaughter of volunteer officers. I think he will realize his error, ere long.

Yours &c
