Col Thomas
I suppose that you are aware of our muster out and that the 27" Regt O.V.V.I. has ceased to exist and that many like myself are without employment. I write to know what the chances are in your Department for employment. Could a person do anything with a small capital (say six or eight hundred dollars) I have had several months experience in the Bridge Q.M. Department and some little experience in the Adjt. Genls.
