Captain;
The General thinks of assigning you to the Selma District. He wishes you to leave your office in charge of a good clerk and come down here at once. See if you can find a Lieutenant from your regiment who will do to take your place. 
Do your know of an officer who will make a good Aide de Camp for the General
Very Respectfully

A.A.G.
