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 Respy
Your Obedt St

John A. McDonnell
Capt. & S.A.C.
