I had the honour to receive an Ensign's commission in the Regt. Of Federal Troops commanded by Gen H. Jackson
when that regiment was disbanded was so unfortunate as to be dismissed
the probability which there is now that more troops will soon be reaised induces me again to solicit an appointment
fortunate as to obtain your patronage
consider myself under the highest obligation for that favour
