0046 H 216 Philadelphia Nov. 4th, 1866 Major Gen O O Howard. Dear Sir - After making several ineffectual attempts to obtain a situation here in this city, circumstances compel me to ask a favor from you with the assurance that it will be granted if in your power to grant it. Enclosed you will find a letter from the Colonel of our regiment, (106th P.V.). My trade being that of a machinist the nature of my wound has incapacitated me from ever working at the trade; and could your influence procure for me the position of Messenger, Watchman, or one of the many offices in the different departments at Washington, believe me, it is a favor which I shall ever gratefully remember. Your Obedient Servant Lieut Jno F. Hassett, late 106th Reg't P.V. 3655 Ludlow St. West Philada.
