Application having been made to me by private Alexander H. Johnston of 
Captain Austin's Company (F) of Crescent Regiment Louisiana are volunteers 
for a certificate upon which to ground carefully examined the said Alexander H. 
Johnston of Captain Austin's company and find him incapable of performing the 
duties of a soldier because of a disease of the kidneys when utterly destroys
his health, prostrates his strength and renders him incapable of earning his 
subsclines(?) by manual labor.  I would therefore most respectfully recommend 
that he be discharged from the service.
