Gen
I have the honor to state that I have been in the service as Chaplain since Aug 10th 1861, and feel that I have only done my duty in so conducting myself as to have enough to do always & the approval of my superior & associate officers.

And as my present relations with the 107 U.S.C.I. is very uncertain as to lengths of time, I very respectfully ask of you a recommendation for a  change in position. If I could get the appointment of Hospital Chaplain & assigned to you for duty, or the position of Maj or Lieut Col. in some Post & assigned to you &c the order could be met
