T. J. Smith, Capt. Commanding Company.

I CERTIFY, that I have carefully examined the said Wm. H. Dillion of Capt. Thos. Smith's Company, and find him incapable of performing the duties of a soldier because of deformity of the foot, and partial anchylosis of the ankle joint. In my opinion he will not be able to resume his duties at any future time, therefore I recommend that he be discharged from service.
