L.C. Brown, Post Surgeon, Post Hospital, Camp Chase, Columbus, Franklin
County, Ohio. To Governor David Tod. Letter stating that if Tod favored
him with the appointment of Surgeon to the 85th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, he wished his assistant, Dr. John E. Darby,
appointed as Assistant Surgeon of the 85th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, that he and Darby
were at present working harmoniously together and they saw no reason
why, if assigned to a regiment, they could not still prosper together,
and that he hoped his commission, if the war lasted, would not terminate
with the three months' men.
