Greenville, Ala., March 7th 1867

Lieut J. F. Conyngham
Actg. Asst. Adj. General
Lieutinant:

I have the honor respectfully to represent that from various indications, it seemed probable that my assignment to this office will not prove to be of the temporary nature expressed in the order of assignment. I would therefore respectfully apply for an order to visit Selma. for the purpose of bringing away my personal property and making such arrangements as the prospect of a continued stay here renders necessary.
Very Respectfully
Your obt. Servt
