Bureau Refugees, Freedmen & Abandoned Lands,

Alexandria, Va., September 4 1865
Col. O Brown
Ast. Comisr Richmond Va
Colonel
I have the honor to transmit herewith account of Ed Morgan employed as clerk at this office. He was employed by Capt. Alvon and retained by Lt. Col Marsh
He came strongly recommended as having served three years in the Army prior to May 1864 when he was discharged, since then he had been employed by Capt. Church A.Q.M. as clerk.
Knowing him to be a steady sober man and conversant with the various departments I have thought it best to retain him
