| Major, |
| I have the honor to apply through the
Engr. Bureau for the appointment of Dr. W. W. Pitts as Surgeon to the
force of hands now engaged on repairs of Geo. Rail Road. I respectfully
refer you to the enclosed testimonials. |
| The necessity for a Surgeon in this case
is urgent as we are now relying upon the uncertain and unsatisfactory
attendance of country physicians. |
| Very Respectfully |
