Capt J.J. Ferree

Sir.
I have reported at this place according to your orders and I find that Capt M.E. Orr 76" NY. Vols. is acting in the capacity of Superintendent by orders of Genl Carroll, and seems to question your Authority, and advises me to report back in Person, which I have refused to do untill I can hear from you.

Your Personal appearance is very much needed here. I have not made any arrangements about an office and thought I had best wait untill I can hear from again. There is no accomodations whatever, for I am now writing on my knee. Let me know as quick as possible and come if you can conveniently.

Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Serv't
Geo. W. Fletcher.
