Elizabeth N.J. Sept 14 1867 Bvt: Maj: Garrick Mallery A.A.A.G. Major, I have the honor to tender my resignation as Bureau Agent in charge 6th Div. 5th Sub. Dist Va. Being on account of ill-health absent on "leave" I resign before its expiration from assurances by my physician that I ought not for some time to return. Only a pressing necessity could induce me to resign in such a comparatively short term after assuming the position of Agent. I am Major Very Respectfully Your obdt. Servt E.P. Williams
