General:
Unless you have some special orders to the contrary, or have on your
mind some controlling reason why it should not be done, I would
recommend that Mrs. Hollahan, under the personal inspection of an
officer, be permittd to take from the Surratt house her personal
clothing and that of her children.

                             Very Respy
                             Your Obt Servant
                             H. L. Burnett
