Medical Director's Office
Richmond June 26th 1863

Sir:
          Your Morning Report shows five Stewards on duty in the 2nd Divn an excess it seems of two. You are directed to report the names of these supernumerary Stewards to this Office that they may be assigned to duty elsewhere, unless their services are actually required in their present position which fact you will state.

          Your attention is called to the fact that while the above division of your Hos. has five Stewards, the 1st Div. has only one.

Very Respectfully
    Yr Obdt Servt
        Wm. A. Carrington
            Medical Director

Surg. J. B. McCaw
