William H. Ludlow letter June 9,1863

Hdqrs. Dept. of Virginia, Seventh Army Corps,
Fort Monroe, June 9, 1863.
Hon. Robert Ould, Agent for Exchange of Prisoners:
Sir: Please have ready for delivery all our officers in your hands who have been declared exchanged, Spencer Kellogg among the number. Deliveries of your officers declared exchanged can then be effected. I would suggest to you that Doctor Rucker be included. I very much desire that all surgeons should be treated as non-combatants and unconditionally released. As I have before remarked to you, the cause of humanity demands it. I saw Doctor Green at Fort Norfolk. He is most anxious to know what is to be his fate. Can you inform him!
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WM. H. LUDLOW,
Lieutenant- Colonel and Agent for Exchange of Prisoners.
