Franklin County: Request for Sick Leave for John
Ault, January 13, 1863
Summary:
This document is an unsigned request for leave for John Ault to recover from his
illnesses.
January 13th, 1863
Camp of 126th Regt. Penn. Vols.
The Rev. John Ault, Chaplain of the 126th Regt. P.V. having applied for a certificate on which to [illeg.]nd an application for leave of absence. I certify that I have carefully examined this officer and find him unable to attend to the duties of his profession on account of a severe attack of Influenza. He also suffers from Rheumatism, is much debilitated and entirely unfit for duty. I further it as my opinion that removal from camp is necessary in order for present permanent activity. He grows weaker daily. I therefore most respectfully urge that he be granted a leave of absence for three weeks as I do not believe that he will be able in a less period to resume the duties of his office.
