There is a general complaint among them, that they cannot collect their wages when due which of course is a great disadvantage to them, and the only assistance which can be rendered them by the Bureau Agt. is to draw off their Bills, and put them in the hands of an Officer for collection, and this often results in judgment being defered from one Court to another, until their patience becomes exhausted, and perhaps their families suffer for bread. 

There is considerable suffering among the Sick, for want of proper medical attendance, and I would earnestly recommend the employment (by the Bureau)of one of the local Physicians, to attend to such as are unable, on account of extreme destitution, to pay a Physician.- Am of the opinion that one could be employed at a salary of ($25.) twenty-five dollars per month,- who would attend to all such cases, and to this point I would respectfully invite your special attention.

I am Genl with much Respect
Your Obt. Servt. 
F.S. Tukey A. Supt.
