Colonel
I have the honor to request permission to absent myself from my Station for twenty days, for the purpose of Conducting my family to Harrisburg, Penna.

Sickness in my family urges me to make this application; and not having had more than ten days Leave of absence since my entry into the Army, January 25. 1862, I respectfully request that this application be favorably received.

I am Colonel
very respectfully
your obedient Servant
