I have served under Brigadier Generals - Phelps (at New [[?Portitcus]] Va.)  W.F. Smith - and W.Y.H. Brooks (in front of Washington and on the Va. Peninsula)  A.P. Howe and L.A. Grant on the Rappahannock River near Fredricksburg Va &c).  The last nameed office will recommend me highly as has often done before, for other military positions.

Col. Cadle, Capt. Arthur and Mr Buckley have visitied me officially, each at a different time - and thus you may have learned my general Official ability and character.

Pardon me if I have asked too much - and forget that I have asked at all, I will remember gratefully, any service you can conscientiously do me,

With the Regards of Mrs Peck and myself.

I am, General,
Very Repspectfully
Your Obdt Servt
Wm H H Peck
Capt. Vet. Res Corps
Asst. Supt. R.F. and A.L.
