Office Asst. Quartermaster
Mobile, Ala. May. 18th 1866.

Colonel
I have the honor herewith to request the paper returned that was forwarded from this office from Maj. Genl. Wager Swayne, requesting my assignment to duty with him as Capt. & A.Q.M. as after due consideration I find it impracticable without a serious loss resulting in accepting the position, having received later advices from home, and my presence is required as soon as I can be relieved from duty at this post.

I am Colonel
Very Respectfully
Your Obdt. Servt.
E.B. Boyd
Capt. and A.Q.M.
