Washington DC Feb. 12th 1868
Hon. S.C. Pomeroy
Washington D.C.
Dear Sir:
Dr. E.N. Smith has been specially recommended to me as a man completely worthy and friendly to the interests of the colored people. I could employ him advantageously to relieve suffering in Virginia, provided he can be relieved from disability. I believe you have his case before you. Please bring it up as soon as you can.
Yours truly
O.O. Howard
Maj. General
