Bureau R.F. & A.L. Office A.S.A. Com'r 3rd Div. 6th Sub Dist. Va. Tappahannock, Essex Co. Va. July 30. 1868. Bvt. Brig. Genl. O. Brown. Asst. Com'r. Dist. of Va. General: I have the honor to apply for Leave of Absence of twenty-five (25) days to commence August 15, 1868 for the purpose of visiting Erie Penn'a. My reasons for making this request is that I have been sick for nearly two months and this is a very sickly place during the months of Aug. & Sept. and I am fearful of being much worse than I am. I have been stationed here since February 6, 1866 and have not had a leave of absence during that time. Very Respectfully Your Obt. Servt. Watson R. Wentworth A.S.A. Com'r. Thro. Hd. Qrs. 6th Sub. Dist. }
