Medical Directors Office 2d Division Army of Ky. Lexington Dec 31st 1862 Sir

I have the honor to call your attention to the State of the Medical department in the Kentucky regiments, attached to this division, (being the 18th at this place and the 24th at Frankfort). There has never yet been assigned to them, the 2n Asst Surgeon which they were entitled to by General orders No 79 War Department. Asst Surgeon M. E. Poynter of 24th has resigned, and asst Surgeon J. C. Elliott 18th has been detached to Hospital No 2 Lexington Ky, leaving each of them with only one medical officer. I therefore beg leave to urge the necessity of filling up these vacancies soon as possible.

I am Sir Very Respectfully Your Obedient Serv. Henry K Steele Surg 44 Reg O V I Med Director 2nd Div Army Ky
