SpoilerFull text of the letter

To Dr. Cigal,

Your concern for the men is noted.

However, the command cannot sanction their removal from camp.

Transport and escorts are already burdened with the movement of essential cargo, which remains of the highest priority for the success of this campaign.

Though regrettable, sacrifices must be endured for the Emperor's cause.

By order of Headquarters, 

Col. Jacques Vallois  Adjutant of the IV Corps
