Bureau R. F. and A. Lands.
Head Quarters 5th Sub Dist. Va.
Fort Monroe Va Aug. 31st 1868.

Bvt. Brig. Gen. O. Brown.
Asst. Com Dist. of Va
Richmond, Va.

General:
I have the honor to request that the address of Head Quarters of the 5th Sub-Dist. be changed from Fort Monroe, Va. to Hampton, Va., and that hereafter all communications may be directed to Hampton Va.

The recent withdrawal of means of transportation, at the disposal of this office renders this change necessary.

I would further state that this change will cause a delay 
of twenty four hours in receipt of communications from your office, and telegrams of any one day, cannot be received till the next morning, there being no Messenger at the telegraph office.

I am, Sir, Very respectfully your obedient servt.,
S.C. Armstrong.     
Sub-Asst. Comr.
