M. 56. R.F. and A.L. D of P. 1st Vol. 1867. Gordonsville Va Feby 5th 1867 Morse W.R. Bvt. Maj and Supt Requests transportation for A A Surg W.H. Gray from that place to Charlottesville Va to render medical treatment to freedmen who cannot be removed to Hospital H'd Q'rs Dep't of the Potomac Bureau of R.F. and A.L. Richmond, Va. Feb 7th 1867. Respectfully referred to Surg. J.J. DeLamater Surg in Chief By order of Bvt Maj Genl Schofield Asst Com'r O Brown AAAG E M OCM 3. p1. Bureau RF and AL Dept Potomac Office Surg in Chief Bureau Dept. Richmond Va Feb 8th 1867 Respectfully returned. I do not think it proper for Dr Gray to leave this Hospital for the purpose indicated. Even if it was proper he could not make any considerable stay, and could be on that account of little service at Charlottesville. While the cost of transportation would be considerable - for these reasons I cannot approve the application for transportation. J J DeLamater Supt Surg in Chief Bureau Dept Potomac
