Maj. Gen. O.O. Howard
Washington D.C.       

General

I have the honor to state that since writing you a few days since soliciting your influence, I have come to the conclusion, upon the urgent advice of my friends to
make an application for a 2d Lieutenancy in the new Veteran Reserve Corps.

If you feel at liberty to use your influence for me at Washington, I shall esteem it a favor. [[strikethrough]] ennil [[/strikethrough]]

I am General
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant

Late 2d Lieut. V.R.C.
