Sir,

I have received your
letter of the 18th Instant with its enclosures,
and have sent the letter to the President
with my endorsement presuming
that to be your desire. I hope soon
to be able to avail myself of your ex-
perience and ability by giving you
the command of a Regiment with
this command–

Very Respectfully
Your Obdt. Servt.
