Lookout Valley, Tennessee
January 13th 1864
Captain,
The Certificate of Dr. Davis intended to extend your leave of absence was
recvd. on the 11th inst. It is entirely defective and does not comply with
the requirements in such cases. ...With regard to your wound. I have consulted
the Surgeon on duty with the Regiment Dr. Day & others who know its effect
upon your arm and health generally, they are of the opinion that you will
never be fit for active field service at least such service as we have experienced
in this department and they think that you are fit for duty in the Invalid
Corps...
I am Captain Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
sg. (P. H. Jones)
