Captain

My Clerk, Mr Jones has not yet reported.  Never having made out a set of Bureau Returns myself, & having been very much driven by people who wanted to see me & have waited during my absence.  Having also been obliged to visit five schools, since my return Three of which are new ones.  You will easily see the great necessity in order to insure any thing like promptness in rendering my returns that this man should report at once.  Please order him by Telegraph to report at once.  I can easily give him a leave in the middle of the month to attend to any private matters he may leave unfinished

I am Captain Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
