Major Chas. A Miller
& A.A.A.G.

Major
I received your letter tonight saying I had been recommended to you as the "right sort of man for the superintendency of Bureau of Freedmen for this District" I fear my friends that recommended me to so important trust have overstated my qualifications, but sir, if appointed I will do my duty to the very best of my ability, but of course you understand I am a perfect novice at that business

I am Major
Very Respectfully
Your obt Servt,
A.J. Pierce
