| I would respectfully call your attention
to the labor and responsibility to which I am subjected in my Department
proper. "The Transportation Department." Besides being in charge of all
the duties of the Post as Chief Quartermaster. I think this more duty
than ought to be entrusted to a Captain Quartermaster. |
