Sir,
The Assistant Commissioner desires to be informed, with the least possible delay, if J.W. Jordan Assistant Sub Assistant Commissioner has taken charge of his Division and established his Head Quarters at Lexington. If he has not, it is directed that you order him to proceed to that place at once, or show by "Surgeons Certificate" that he is unable to travel, and for how long a period, he is likely to remain so.
Very respectfully
Your obedient Servant
Will A. Coulter
