Sir,
I have received your letter of the 11th inst, representing the largely increased duties of the Superintendent of Hollywood Cemetery, asserting from the burial of soldiers and inquiring if additional compensation can be allowed to him by the Government.
It is proper that the Superintendent be paid for the extra services performed by him, for the Government, and you are authorized to bear him upon your returns as an employee of the QM Department, at a compensation of Fifty dollars ($50) per month, until further ordered.
