Bates AAAG Filed "B" Dond LeRoy AAAG Dist S.E. Va Norfolk Nov 13th 1865 N Rec'd Nov 17th 1865. States Corporarl [[Corporal]] Dudley 8th Conn Vols must be relieved and sent to his regiment, Endorsed Norfolk Va Nov 13th 1865 Respectfully referred to Capt Flagg A.Q.M. Etc, Corporal Dudley has been in this Dept Since Sept 22d 1864. His services are very valuable to the Bureau. and I fully believe to [[he]]. is much more benefit to the 285 Gov't as a clerk than he would be, were he to rejoin his regiment. If he leaves the Bureau it will be necessary to employ a civilian clerk: and no competent clerk could be secured at a salary less than $75. per month. He has had charge of all the endorsements of this Office and his services could not be dispensed with without great loss to the Bureau. I would therefore respectfully ask that an application be made to Genl Terry for a new detail of Corp'l Dudley which application should it meet with the approval of yourself and the Asst Com'r would no doubt prove successful. (Sgd) Charles E Johnston Asst Supt Norfolk Va Nov 15th 1865 Respectfully referred to Col. O. Brown with request that the Corporal be detaited as requested by Mr Johnston.

Brown Asst Comr &c_ with the request that the transportation asked for be furnished. inasmuch as I believe that the parties if they remain here will be an expense to the Gov't & will not be at the place to which transportation is requested- The sending of these parties to the place requested will be an advantage to themselves and the community generally.
