| Genl., |
| I have the honor to enclose to you my Quarterly Returns
for the 1st Quarter 1863 ***** A severe and protracted sickness rendered
it impossible for me to enter on the duties of my office till late in
Jan and about the 1st of March was ordered to report for duty to Brig Genl Pillow who assigned me to the duty of collecting negroes for the
use of the Government in North Alabama which facts will account for the
meagerness of my returns. |
| My address will be Chattanooga Tenn. |

| Most Respectfully |
| Your Obedt Servant |
