Sir

Please inform me whether the detail of an Enlisted man is essential to the proper performance of your duties.

The Commanding officer here objects to sending a man so far, where it will be difficult to furnish him rations and quarters, but if absolutely necessary, will furnish one.

Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant

John A. McDonnell
Captain & Sub Assistant Commissioner
