1861 September 17 Head Quarters of Division Richmond Va

Captain [Cary C. Cocke]

Please understand and explain to the
Captains under your Command, that even in case of
sickness
and Surgeon's advice, no leave of absence can
be granted, to privates or Officers, except at these Head
Quarters, and when men are absent for health, it should
so appear on the morning report. Please give this your
attention, as a looseness exists at present, which we
wish to have promptly corrected.

I am Captain
Very Respectfully
J E Johnston
