326 A.Q.M. & Supt &c. (Sgd)O. Brown Col & Asst Comr Official James A. Bates AAAG Jany 5th 1866. DeLamater J J Surg & Chr Med. Off R Endorsement on on a contract between Surg J.J. Lamater Chf Med Officer and Isaac S. Lyons as Hospital Nurse. Richmond Va Dec 12th 1865 Respectfully returned to Col O Brown and his attention solicited to the following statements. Viz. The within named employee is an absolute necessity to the Hampton Hospital. He was formerly a U.S. Hospital Steward. I am informed- and after going out of the service. was retained by the Authorities of the Dept Va in the Hampton hospital at 50.00 per month. and a ration- When the Hospital was turned over to the Bureau, the surgeon in charge agreed to give him the same pay if he would remain. This I disapproved of- and said that the highest terms that I could approve would be the pay of White contract Nurse (He is White) which is $24- and a ration a month- after some hesitation, and being earnestly urged to do so, he remained- He is a very efficient man- acts as Steward Commissary &c of the Hospital- and with the large field of duty of the Surgeon in charge at Hampton Newport News &c. really saves the necessity of a second Officer in the District. It is an absolute necessity to the service to have some one reliable person at these Hospitals, for the good of the sick & the property. In other state I am informed they give the full salary of Hospital Stewards U.S.A. to those acting Stewards. But in this I hope to get along with the pay of a white nurse. (Sgd) J.J.
